The fowers bloomed. the Ctr was mild,

His hand IN hers he gently put
And then cav the boy Was hind.

" The flowers, You say, are very fair,
And bright green leaves are on the trees,
And pretty birds are singing there;
How beautiful for one who sees

And can feel the green leafs shade,
And can hear the notes that swell
From those dear BIRDS that God has made

Though sight, alas He has not given.

On that dear boy so meek and mild,
His widowed mother wept and prayed
That God would spare her sightless child
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said Oh never weep for me;
I'm going to bright, bright place,
Where Mary says God shall see.

But mother, dear, when you come there.
Tell Edward, mother, that It's you
You know never saw you here 80
He spoke no more, but sweetly smiled,
Until the final blow was given;
When God took up that poor blind child,
And opened first his eyes-in Heaven.
