DEDICATED TO HIS MOTHER
Why canst thou let sad repining
Grievc thy lone spirit now,
Whilst an angels crown Is shining
upon thy Creathies brow
/ would not ask thee to forget,
Aught that thy heart holds dear;
But know his spirit fingers yet,
Thy earthly life to cheer
All, no, thou cans't never, never,
Forget that baby brow
So bCauteous twill haunt thee ever,
As fair, as bright, as now;
For oft Will memory linger,
Around thy little boy,
Ere Deaths cold and Icy finger,
NIarrod thy earthly joy.
In death how beautiful, how fair,
The little fow'ret lay
While shining angels lowered there,
To wait his soul away.
The smile that lit his dying face,
We never can forget;
Aud know that time can meier erase,
The smile he's wearing yet.
We know tho bright md lust'rous eye,
Fades often from the sight,
Aud oft is drawn the bitter sigh,
When all above is bright.

Upon his children fall
To lead them "to the better apd,h
When they have lost their all,
For, all how soon tho spirit turns
When sorrow grees our way
From earth toward Heaven II yearns,
And longs to be away;
Dut oh, my friend, no more repne,
At Heavens just decree,
For God, we know is love divine,
And he will comiort'thee,
All that blessed promise given,

Our loved ones are in Heaven,
And we viii meet them there.
Close by that beautiful river,
Where grows the tree Of life,
Angels sing ever and ever,
Stree from pain and free from strife"
All ! never more let sorrows tear
Bedim thy sparkling eye;
An angel guards thy footsteps here,
Itd voice is whispering nigh.
All listen to that spiritsons;
Twill li,ht Thy weary clay
Twill guard thy feet from ey'ry wrong,
"Up to the perfect day.
