BY MISS ELLEN GRAY.
Close the eyelids-press them gently,
O'er the dead and leaden eyes;
For tho soul that made them lovely
Has returned into The skies.
Wipe the death drops from her forehead
Sever one dear golden tress;
Fold her icy hands all meekIy;
Smooth the tile snowy dress;
Scatter flowers so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom;
There-now softly say Good Night.
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back;
We are glad her feet no longer
Tread hfe's rough and thorny track;
We are glad our Heavenly father
Took her while her heart was pure;
We are glad he did not leave her,
All LIES troubles 10 endure.
We are glad-and vet the Tear drop
Fallelh; for, alasl we know
That our fireslde will be lonely,
We shall miss our darling so.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain to feel
Little arms, all white and dimpled,
Round our neck so softly steal;
Our wet cheeks will miss The pressure
Oi sweet lips SO warm and red,
And our bosons, sadly, sadly,
Miss that darling little head,
Which was wont to rest there sweetly;
And those golden eyes SO bright
We shall miss their loving gIances.-
We shall miss their soll Good Night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will lake their cherished form;
They Wil bear il 10 the churchyard,
Aud consign II 10 The worm.
Well-w what natter? il is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God has robed her a. an angel
She has need oi this no more.
Fold her hands, and DER her pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white;
Kiss hat marble brow, and whisper,
Once again, a last Good Night.
