Thou art sleeping most dearest child in the grave,
We will not lcplore thee; though thuu hast left
Thou hast quickly Aed from earth's most guomy shade
Well seek thy abode u heaven meet thee, We trust
'Tis true we oft sighed and wcpt most bitter tears,
While round thy bed we our watchful station kept;
Scarce did any cyelids close. till thou sank in DEATH
And sonred away to n sweet heavenly rest.
Thy sweet voice among ,ls in silence is hushed-
Thou hast warned neer in this poor world to trust
Death came and in t-rcnding terror did thrust
Through our doora and laid child low in the dust
Well plant most lovely tree beside thy grave,
Whose lone wintry nights shall ne'er make it decay
Its leaves shall be green its stem as bright US day,
That we may view it rs we pass by the way.
Oh why should we weep to heaven our child has gone
lie there rests and knows no earthly bitter tolls,
Nor would he exchange bis happy home for ours.
Soon Oh, soon we'll be called with thee to rejoice.
