LADY ENMnLISE STUART WORTHY.
Our hearts Joined In kindness, gsntlsst friend.
Together. in anectionis truth they blend;
And thoughtful sympathy.
TIVE mourning mothers We alas. have been,
Our hearts have travelled DER the same dark track;
Since, from our grading arms, We both have seen
Cur shershd babes call'd back!
Mothers are Of children loved and lost
Children, the very brightest Of the fair,
Mothers Of Angels In the Heavenly Host
stu, still We love them there.
Perchance chain of Heavens own golden overs

Ny their dear hands sntwined!
Yes our sweet children may in JOY have met
In some far OF and glad angelic band;
And by the Zig INT of suns that never set,
Gone wandering, hand Ia hand
Wandering midst worlds Of glory and Of bliss,
where lovsliest shows, and hsppiest scenes uproll
Yet those worlds still wipgng thoughts 70 this
Straight TO the mothers soul!
BY an electric, yet enduring tie,
They may our touch'd and thrilling hearts have
stil nearer to us In tn. o 'erlooking sky
Than all that girds roundl
From those blest realms sth1srt the haunted night
OF our sad blossoms, they perchance have thrown
A starry clustered inf uence full Of might,
while eth their sway we own
Their wing link'd rosy auttering shadows fall
And make Il ovn strange and mystic thrsil,
And meods sccordant keep.
whlpsring sweet tones TO which our being stsrts,
Have they indeed controlled aud stamped our
And laid ihsIr blessed hand, upon our hearts,
And our Lew friendship taught

Marks t,rsPh-shsdoSings, breath, aud touch ana
Ard hears the wave Of high celestial wiugs
where all vas earth ere whils
This from our lose at lesst we both have gained,
Our LOGGING hearts ever drawn and raised
To~ ard heights o. which our darngs have attained
Where love hath all but CARED!
Hath real hath hope. hath sctt nee ever scared
so gladly 10 the deafness realms serene.
As hearts, whoss living treasures there are stored
Scarce tsems Q cloud between
IL spreads tho slight. With dreta sud awful powr,
And hides heavenly Univsrse baze
Til the appointed hour.
But from our loss ~ -e thus mueh have gained.
Our humby. lifted hearts shOuld grateful prove;
Grateful to be no more TO earth sI hslsd
freed thro' the up springins lo-e!
Even nov, like cberub parsn Of our souls,
Our children seem TO nurse our nobiet losers; .
From them gain, while time still heavsnwsrd rolls,
New hopes and richest dowersl
still let u be 90! let us owe TO them
Showers Of celestial gifts unnamed untoit,
flowsrd dream, and stsrry thought and spirit gem,
Richer than pearl aud gold
| stu let II be 90! let us feel and see
Their high sphered influence ever round us seal,
| And ~ each day glides towards eternity,
Learn more to leve and feel.
| And when ourselves shall breathe Al, ipsr air,
o may we find, and clsep ut last thu AMIDST,
| Our bestihc treasures garnered there,
| fsreet amidst . host.
