81 How calm are thy slumbers thou sweet little
stranger,
Un,nrniful Of rsnrrow-regardlcss of danger,
Thy mild sliri, left thee as pure ~ il found thee.
Fer the cold cares o! life spread their darkness
around thee.

Thine eve cios'd upon them, thy pilgrimage en-
dcd.
Thy soulmOnnted upward, BY angel attended.
q Sleep on, lovely cherub! No more shalt thou
wakcn.
Thy body lirs ienaniless, cold, and forsaken.
No more shall the arms ofn parent enfnid thee.
No more shall the eye Of affection behold thee.
Though now the fra body in death is reclinc,

Thy bright, spo,ess spiri, wi,hangels is shining;
For our Saviour, 10 us, an assurance has gwen,
That " Of such" as thou art, is the Kingdom
