THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.

And the midnight hour is near;
And the iagot's crack, and the clocks dull tick
Are the only sounds hear.
And over my soul in its solitude,
SWeei feelings of sadness glide. ....# 5.
For my heart and my eyes are full when think
vi the little boy that died. FRI
went one night TO my fathers house
Went home 10 the dear all
AND softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door OF the hall +.
MY mother came out 10 meet her son '*
ohe kissed me and then she sighed,
AND her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For her little boy that died.
And when gazed on his innocent face,
As still and cold he lay,
And thought what a lovely child he had been,
And how soon he must decay;
"Oh Death, thou lowest the beautiful"
In the woe of my spirit cried, .........
for sParkled the eyes, and the forehead was fair
VI the little boy that died! Il
Again will go TO my fathers house
Go home TO the dear ones all, ..
And sadly I'll open the garden gate,
And sadly the door of the hall.
snail meet my mother; but never more
;, With her darling by her side;
But she'll kiss me and sigh, and weep again
FOR The little boy that died.
shall miss him when the flowers come, ...
In the garden where he played;
shall miss him more by the fireside,
hen The flowers have all decayed;
shall see his toys and his empty chair
And the horse he used to rides
And they will speak with silent speech
Of the little boy that died.
shall see his little sister again
With her playmates about the door;
And Iii watch the children in their sports
As never did before; :
And il, in the group, see child
That's dmped and laughing-eyed,
I'll look to see if it may not be .
The little boy that died.
We shall all go home to our Fathers house
10 our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope OF our souls shall have no blight,
And our love no broken ties. ...>
We shall roam on the banks Of the river of peace,
And battle in its blissful lide
And one Of the joys of our heaven shall be s..
The little boy that died.
And therefore, when am sitting alone,
And the midnight hour is near; ~.. ...
When the fagots crack and the clocks dull tick
Are the only sounds hear, "
Oh, sweet o er my soul, in its solitude rat..
Are the feelings of sadness that glide .s
Though my heart and my eyes are full when think
Ofthe little boy that died. "..I.
