LIN ES
edicatet, to the Rev. Mrs. THos C. MURPHY, on u
death of her babe, EMILY VIRGINIA.
Thy darling babe. fond mother,
las left thy loving breast;
And gently, sadly, they have laid
Her little form to rest
The fairy snow Is falling
Upon the new-made bSd.
And winter wInds are sighing
Above the dear Ono's head.
Thy heart is filled with anguish
For the birding that has flown;
And thou weepest O'er the cradle
Now so vacant and SO lone.
But midst thy hearts deer agony.
With Faiths bright eye look up;
The dear Redeemer thought 1t best
That thou shouldst drink the cup.
'Tis bitter! Oh. it's bitter! 49,.
As nv aching heat canIell;
But tits thy Heavenly Father.
Who doeth all things we'll.
The tiny hand that nestled
In thine, so full Of love.
Is striking golden harp-strinss
With the ransOmed ones above.
The infant voice of waling
Is changed to glory's strain,
And her angel-brow in Heaven
Will never ache again.
Her little couch will surely be
Watched DER with angel care,
Through winters chill anu summers sun,
And when the sprIng-tIine'a there.
They say our loved ones spirits
Are ever hoverlng near,
To guard us from all danger.
And to wipe the falling tear.
That, when life's struggles over,
lis tolls and cares are past, ..-t
They will come on wings of glory,
Aud will bear us home at last.
Then brush away the tear-drop
That's stealing from thine eye;
Fer Heaven is nearer, dearer,
Since thy lItlle ones Oh high.
Thou shalt see again thy darling,
And forever with hsr dwell;
And thou shalt know when saie at homo'
:" lie doetn all things we'll
In sympathy and love.
