saw her, Hike angel child,
Amid the sweetest flowers of earth,
When her birdiEc voice, and winsone smile,
Seemed tokens of heavenly birth;
And knew by the tender beaming
In her dark and lustrpus eyes,
That heaven her soul was winning
To a home beyond the skies
saw a father on her gaze
With all parents pride,
And gentle mother softly
The young dove to her side;
And deemed that such treasure
For earth was all too fair,
And trembled lest the reaper
Might leave his traces there.
From little Emma's side,
And wondered If her beauty yet
Was pure and undefed
But learned ere long, oh sadly
That to me il was not given
To gaze again on her cherub form
This side the courts of heaven.
He had come in his power, the frost king Death
And nipped the folded bud,
But like perfume the south winds breath,
Her spirit passed to God.
And that young mother bowed her head,
And though her heart was riven,
That she had now child on earth
She was blessed for the one in Heaven.
