TIE ANGEL WATCHER.

a daughter watched at midnight
Her dying mothers bed,
For five long nights she had not slept.
And many tears were shed.
A vision like All angel came,
Which none but her might see;
"Sleep, duteous Child" the angel sa'd'
"And will watch for thee y
Sweet slum5er, like blessing, fell
Upon the daughters face;
The angel smiled, and touched her nof'
But gently took her place;
Aud, oh so full OF human love,
Those plying eyes did shinc'
The angel guest hatmortal SEEMED
The slumberer, half divine.
Like rays of light, the sleeper's locks
II warm, loose curls were thrown
Like rays oflight, the angels hair
Seemed like the sleepcr's own
A4ose-ike shadow Oh the cheek
Dissoving into pearl
A something in the angels tace'
Seemed sister to the girl!
The moria! and immortal, each
Reh-cting, each were seen;
The earthly and the spiritual,
With carlh's pale face between,
Oh, human love, what strength like thine!
From thee those prayers arise,
Which. entering into Paradise,
Drew angels from the skies!
Tbedawn looked through the easement cold
A win,ry dawn Of gloom,
And sadder showed the curtained bed
The still aud sickly ROOM
"My daughter! art thou there, my child :
Oh, haste thee, love, come nigh,
That may see once more thy face,
And bless thee, ere die.
"IfI were ever harsh to thee,
Forgive me now,' she cried;
aGod knows my heart; loved thee most
When most seemed TO chide;
Now bend and kiss thy mothers lips
And for her spirit pray"
The angel kissed brand her soul
Z Passed peacefully away!
A sudden start-what dream, what sound,
The slumbering girl alarms!
She wakes-she sees her mother dead
Within the angels arms
She wakes-she springs with wild embrace
But nothing there appears,
Except her mothers sweet dead face
Her own convulsire tears.
