BY s. W.. J

Ss We -
There was bitter, bitter mourning,
There were many, many tears,
For boy that perished
In the bloom Of his earliest years.
One winter Of cold and storm,
One summer of beauty and bloom,
And the beautiful one had faded,
And laid in the silent tomb.
There was bitter, bitter mourning,
There were many, many tears,
For the child that dropped and perished
Thus in life's early years.
There was gladness and rejoicing.
Among the angel band,
For pure young soul just ushercd
Into the spirit land.
In the celestial gardens,
The flowers new brightness wore,
When TO bis Fathers mansion,
The angels their burthen bore.
No merry laugh pealed galy
AT mornings rosy hours,
No little step brushed lightly
The dew from off the flowers,
No toys were idly scattered
Upon the nursery floor,
No little face peeped slyly
In the open door -
Atnight, on the soft white pillow
No httIs head was laid
But in his crib deserted,
The moonlight shadows play'd.
But, midst the angel children,
In Heaven warm sunshine born,
Another voice was added
To hail an endless morn
Mid flowers that never wither,
His path of light now lies
Where drops of beauty gisten
With the rainbow 3 varied dyes.
And in his Fathers mansions.
The pure young soul looks in
While angels smile welcome
The Heaven-born child to win;
20 weariness-no llstlessncss,
Nor sorrowing or pain,
Shall bow that head so beautiful
He cannot die again -
And from that land so peaceful
Where all is JOY and love,
Eo giadly lortn po1 5 messengers,
With blessings from above
And TO the weary eyeliis,
In nightly slumber sealed,
The beauties Of the unseen world
In visions were revealed
So to the weeping mother
Her angel child draws near,
And whispers words OF comfort
Her lonely path TO cheer.
Clothed in his heavenly garments,
And radiant with his joy
Site feels his holy presence,
And clasps her angel boy.
M more the light OF morning
Awakens her lo-her tears
She mourns no more her lost one
Gone in lite's earliest years,
For she know il is not death TO him
Nor should TO her be pain
That he is born in blessedness
And cannot die again.
