THE LITTLE BOY THAT Died.

DR.. Chalmers is said to be the author
Of the following beautiful poem, written
on the death Of young son whom ne
greatly loved:
I am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near;
And the fagot's tack, and the clocks dull ucK'
Are the only sounds i hear.
All over my soul in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide,
For my heart and my eyes are full wheh thihA
OF the little boy that died
/ went one night to my fathers house
Went home to the dear Onss all
And softly, / opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall.
NV mother came out to meet her son
she kissed me and then she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died.
shall miss him when the flowers come,
In the garden where he played;
shall miss him more by the iireside,
When the flowers have all decayed;
shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride;
And they will speak with silent speech
OF the little boy that died
We shall go home to our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall have no blight,
Our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the river Of peace
And battle in its blssful tide,
And one of the Joys of our heaven shall be
The little boy that died.
