Lines
To the Memory Of my Grandfather.
Where art thou gone, my aged sire
Thy home TO me is lonely now!
Thy spirit tunes the Heavenly yre
While thoughts OF sorrow dim my brow
When first thou trod life's early ways
Hope winged LIES fleeing span,
Till you have numbered years and days
Allotted not TO
Three score and upon this earth
But very few can date;
Yet onward, onward from thy birth
Hath made thee eighy-eght.
And now thy course on earth is run
And death has brought thy setting sun,
Yet may thy rising morning sec
Thy soul in blest eternity.
And while we view thy mpuldering heap,
Thy children. scarce and few,
Can see where brothers, sisters, Sleep
While shedding for you.
My eyed sire fare thee we'll
My fathers gone before thee;
And now from earth thou hence shall dwell,
Though fatheress be
And may thy good examples guide
Me through the path thou trod
And when my works by death are tried
May thou approve them, my God
II pains my soul TO say FAREWELL
Yet trembling address thee
Such struggling thoughts my bosom swell,
That words scarce find to biess thoe.
