For the Green Mountain Freeman
HH AN INFANTS GRAVE.
The silver moon had Just arssS sss',a--'
And dimly shone through distant trees;
The shade o. night, in soft reposc,
Stole calmly on. A gentle breeze
Was pensive signing through the yew
Which grew near by aninfant's grave;
Day-hrl had sang the SUMS adieu,
And Z ,le to rest j--hushed was all, SAVE
T',- inournful rl, that sang its dirge
Within the dim and darksome dell
And flowed around, just at the verge
Of yonder mound--we know so well.
slender firm a.rt caught my eye,
A,l,w it b mt up N {, stone
That marked the spot where beauty lie,
The rose bud plucked before its bloom,
Upon the solemn brcezng air
hearl in tones distinct and mild,
The mothers sad pathetic prayer
l- sob, Christ! keep safe my darling child !"
The streaming drops that filled her eyes,
The sobs that heaved her aching heart
Bespoke how dearly loved the prize
Which fell by deaths RELENTLESS dart.
But oh what sweet consoling tone,
While sobs and broken accents rise--
That God will take his flowers home,
To bloom anew in paradise.
An infants grave and at the feet
OF its f,nd neither lays to rest
The child so often watched in sleep,
And nursed 50 fondly on her breast.
An infants gravc--an infants grave

Many true heart that would have come
back like dove to the ark, after its first trans

the angry look, menace, taunt, or the savage
charity of an unforgiving soul.

THE DEAD CHILD.

Gently, to the silent tomb,
Bear the sleeping child away;
Like a broken bud he lies, .t
Fallen at the dawn of day.
Dearly to our hearts he chung,
Pondiy did he win our love
Angels ye will love him, too,
As ye bear the soul above.
Take him to the Savior's breast
To the infant cherub's home:
Let the bud unfold its leaves
Where no chilling blight can come.
