Elsie Cray.
lCOLA.

In shaded nooh BY crystal brook
Sat little Elsie Gray,
Aud fairest auwers frUm woodland bowers.
wove in garland gay.
And she did not smile, but her song the while,
Stole on the evening air;
And msny trace on her little face,
Told much Of early care.
! Sweet flowers away ere the close Of day."
Was little Elsie's song,
As the wreath at last on the brook she cast,
Why hnger here 50 long"
Away to the sea . token from me
! 70 those who slumber there;
Go garland the head of the early dead.
And fathers liver hair.
For they rest tonight midst the sea weed of'9e''
Their winding sheet-the wave:
Together they sleep where the Wild wiadS sweep
Around their dark sea grave
Go, Irvine with the pearls in the g'lden c''ris
Upon nv brothers brow:
Go, iell him each day. am fadjfg away
As ye are fading now!
Oh. I often dream when the pale stars CLEAN
There IL no cI dark sed!
And all are at home no longer to roam
Away from the old roOf tree
But soon am awake, my cold limbs ache,
And long to be OF rest.
Nv father with thee in the deep blue sea,
u. on my mothers breast.
must linger awhile. DOOR orphan child!
And suffer day BY day,
With NO one to bless OF gently caress
Poor little Elsie Gray:
When the arrow flies and the sparrow dies
God sees il in the sky,
And know when weep while others sleep
'Tis noticed BY his eye.
Oh! He is my friend and he will defend,
The Orphan night and day;
Though Others neglect there's One to protect
Poor little Elsie Gray"
