The Waii of the Mother.

Our child, in the beautiful robes Of the ecad
Lay calm ON his last white pillow,
And the grief that he left us broke wild over
head
As DER the lost wreck breaks the billow;
1t seemed that our hearts in the desolate grave
Should be laid down to perish beside him
We felt that orr pleadings no longer could
save,
Nor our hands from corruption divide him.
They laid him away in the cheerless hall,
Where the cold of the winter was creeping,
Where the curtains tapped on the bare white
wall
SO unlike the warm couch Of his sleeping;-
And the poor mother spoke as they hid his
dear form
That one moment most bitter and trying
a have kept him so long in my bosom warm;
And nov IL tie cold Ne Is lying!"
They covered the coffin, and dark fell the
cloud
As we stood the dead sleeper surrounding,
And we saw the thick sky with the heavy rain
bowed,
And we heard the loud storm wind SCUM
ding,
Then the grief the mother broke forth with
vail
The last heavy outburst of sorrow--
"They are taking him from us, all frozen and
pale,
II will rain Oh his grave tomorrow"
Oh dcsoate mother oh bittcrcst grief,
That troubles the deep heart Of woman-
It is well that Gods hand holds the coming
relief
That or pains, IKE our pleasures, are hui
man.
1t is well that we know that the cold beats in
vain
On the spirit unchanged and immortal,
And that falls the warm sunshine, a3 well 4,
the rain,
On the grave which is heavens cwn portal
