A REQUIEM.
By Mrs. H. J. LEWIS.
Bending near the altar dim.
Breathe a low, funeral hymn
For a young soul called away
Ere the noon-tide Of its day.
For the sleeper OF the bier
Drop no more regretfuI tear.
Lo! the tranquil dust you see
IL but dust--the soul is free!
Earth one bounding step hath lost:
Busy hands are softly crossed;
Eyes whose CLEANS were spirit-born
Ope no more to greet the morn;
Lips, once wreathed with smiles, are now
Pale as is the sIeeper's brow,
And their tones Of love were hushed
In the storm that Ger US rushed.
Give the sleeper back 10 God!
Dust to mingle with the sod,
Soul 10 rise on cheru5 wings
TO the source whence comfort springs.
She by death was no; dismayed-
Twas but passing through the shade
To the land where such have rest
On the gentle Saviour's breast.
Stormy was the road she trod,
But it led heiIback to God!
