Oh! if in that still heart you have ruthlessIy
planted thorn; Il from that pleading eye you
have carelessly turned away; if your loving
glance and kindly word, and clasping hand,
have come all too late, then God forgive you!
No frown gathers on the marble brow as you
gaze--no scorn curls the chiseled lip-no
quick flush of wounded feeling mounts to the
blue.vened temples.
God forgive you! for your feet, too, must
shrink appalled, from deaths cold river--your
faltering tongue asks, Scan this be death 7"

Oh, rapacious grave! yet another victim for
thy voicelcss keeping! What no words of

No throb Of pleasure gushing from the dear
maternal bosom! Silent all!
Oh! if these broken lambs were never
