WEEP NOT FOR THE DEAD.
Montpelier, Feb. Cd, 1914.

nv WILLIAM II. CRANsToN.
o, why should mourn when the young aud the good
All go down to the grave in their YOUTH
They pass from Hlluemcnts, temptations and sin,
To the bright land of beauty and truth
lis only weakness, but hard TO o'ercome--
Aud though dead unto Us, thcy'ro alive,
While we are docuyng and passing away,
Though TO shun il we constantly strive
Their souls like the perfumes of roses ascend
While the dews Of affection she'd
Aud the raliying guard Of the paradise throng,
Bear them up from suffering bed
While we weep DER their Wondering bodies below
And discharge the last tribute of love,
They're calmly surveying these tokens Of love-
From the realms of perfection above.
Their spirits attend us in sorrow aud gloom,
run as much MS in gluducss and uy--
They smile,Nyhon earth sweet ioretaste we lnyc
or their blessings, unmiXed with alloy;
Let Us cease, then, TO mourn for those who arc dead
For they are in rapture reposing,
Aud we are still shedding a sorroNful tenr
Above the lone graves dismal closing.
They soon will descend to embrace us again
When the light of our lives must expire
ANA bear us aloit in the clouds of the sky,
10 exist with the chcrubm choir;
u, cease, then, to mourn for The young and the good
Who have early gone down TO the tomb,
Like paradise flowers, perennial and frcsh
Ihey have risen in perfection to bloom
