Dying, still slowly dying.
A the hours Of nigh, wore BY.
She had lain since the light Of sunset
Was red on the evening sky:
Till after the middle watches,
A we softly near her ,rod,
When her soul from its prison letters
Was loosed by the hand Of God!
One moment her pale lips 'remblcd
Wish the triumph she might not tell,
AZ the light OF the life immortal
On her spirits vision fell!
Then the look Of rapture faded,
And the beautiful smile waxed faint,
AZ that in some conven, picture,
On the face Of a dying saint.
And we felt in the lonesome midnight,
A. we sat by the silent dead,
What light on the path going downward
The feet oi the righteous shed.
When We though, how with fee; unshrnkin.
She came Ia the Iordan's tide,
And, taking the hand ot tie Savior,
Went up on the heavenly side.
