THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.
BY MISS ELLEN shlY


Closc The eyeitds- press them gsnly
Ger the dead and ieeden eyes,
For the soul thai made them lovely
Hath returned into the skies;
When the dea ihdrops from her forehead,
Sever one dear golden tress,
Fold her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the little snowy dress;
Fold her handsrand Ger the pillow,
Scatter flowers 50 pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom,
There-now softly say Good Mght.
Though our tears fk'w fas, and iaster,-
Yet we would not cal! her back,
We are glad her feet no longer
Tread life D 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 to endures
We are glad-and yet the tear dop
Falleth for, alas, we know
That our fireside will be lonely,
We shall miss Our darling Sc.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain to feel
Little arms, all white and dimpled,
Round our necks so softly steal
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
Of sweet lips so warm and red,
And our bosoms 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 chances,
We shall miss their soft Good Might.
When the morrow s sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form,
They win bear it to churchyard.
And consign it to the worm;
Well-what matter Pit is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God has robed her as All angel,
She hath need for this no more;
Fold her hands and Ger her pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white,
Kiss that marble brow, and whisper
Once again, last Good .Nigat.
