Lines on the Death Of "Wesle" b.. and

'Tis hard to part with those We love,
Though tits the Savior's will;
But if we always heavenward move,
We can behold them still.
IT'S sweet to look on them in death,
And think of where they've gone;
We're they not numbered with the dead,
Still suffering would be borne.
Deep in the earth they now are laid,
The mould is on them spread
To him that form'd-to him that made,
Their spirits both have fled.
And now dear parents, weep no more
For those We know you love;
Bright angels welcomed ssWesie" home,
To that bright world above.
Sweet Annie too, is now with God,
Her spirit rose on high,
And there she will forever be
An angel in the sky. NETrIF.
