THE LAST GOOD NIGHT,
BY ELLEN GREY.

Close her eyelids-preSs them gently
Der the dead and leadened eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely,
Hath returned unto the skies
Wipe the dearh-drops from her forehead
Sever one dear golden tress,
Fo'd her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the liule snowy dress
Scatter lluwers o'cr her pillow
Gentle flowers, so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom
There-now softly say Good Night.
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back,
We are glad her fee, no longer
Tread life's rough and Ihorny track
We arc glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure,
We are glad he did not leave her
All hfe's trials to endure
We are glad-and yet the tear.trop
Fa!lOth ; for, alas we know
That our freside viii be lonely,
We shall miss our darling so.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shalt walt in vain 10 feel
Little arms, all white ard dimPle.
Round our necks 80 softly steal !;
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
Ofsweet lips so warm and red,
And our bosoms sadly, sadly,
Miss that darling little head
Which was won't to rest there sweetly ;
And those golden eyes so bright,
We shall miss their loving G lances.
We shall miss the soft good night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form,
They will bear it TO the church-yard,
And consgn il to the worm
Well-what matter 1t is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God hath robed her as an angel
She hath need Of this no more 4;
Fold her hands, and DER her pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white,
Kiss that marble brow, and whisper,
Once again, last Good Night.
