To the Memory Of Isaf C Merrill.

O. mcmry, mcm'ry, Why should We weep
Der the knoll Of those who're swcctly asleep
Yet creeping back DER thy silv'ry thread
We stand by The grave Of the silent dead,
And there Whine we weep 0 or the yictors part
That brow is calm and the quivcring heart.
Our Isah's aslccp-wc laid him away
II The hard frozen earth one cold wintr'y day;
For the angel had long laid his hand on his
heart,
Aad We knew he must die tho the warning
was short;
Our hopes lie there with him in the tomb
Our joys budding hope--our earliest bloom.
Al! how we miss or precious dead
How silent and sad is his tcnantlcss bed;
The playthinGs too, which in life were his joy
Wen cherish them all for our prccions boy;
lie is gone, he is gone, well see him no more
His sOlrows are past, lis weeping is Ger.
Each night when the sun goes down by the hill,
And sad tones break from the whippowill;
Nh. then, Go our hearts grow quiet and sigh
For our patient child Of the mild blue eye;
We've laid him-aWay in his quiet rest,
And pale in his brow and calm in his breast.
Wen remember hy virtues with thrilling JOY,
Wen remember the prayers of cur dying boy.
But tho'rt gone-thc golden link, alas, is riycn
That heIdthy soul away fran heaven.
Thy childish gricfs no more thoust tell
Thy sorrows are DER, and now farewell.
