Lady. in our England's story,
There are names we proudly saw
Names of women wit il Heaven,
With US still, and passed away;
But in oil the shining record
Which thG angels love to read.
rev caLi claim the earnest homage
81 our hearts to thee decreed.
Lady! when to weeping households
Word of thy devotion came,
High and lowiy called thee angel,
Wives and mothers blessed thy name.
Where the rectory roses cluster.
Where the whitened cottage peers.
In the old immortal mansion.
Eyes were filled with thankful tears
Lady! when the wounded soldier
Lifts hls head and looks on thee.
Hope will come and softly whisper
he may yet re-cross the sea;
rel return his mothers kisses,
AS she shudders at his scars,
Yet behold face still dearer
Seen IN dreams beneath the stars.
Lady thou has left for duty,
All that gives to life its charm,
And we pray that God may keep thee
With thy sisters safe from harm.
Ever shall thy name and story
Cause the heart blissfnl thrill.
When our warfare long is over,
And we all are lying still.-[ London Neus
