NJ MOTHERS GRAVE.
NJ ruoEsrA.

1Ff Itt a - rt =
Fond, memories linger round the place,
Where sleeps my mother now,
Enshrined In icy deaths embrace,
His kiss upon her brow;
His cold, cold touch. within her breast,
His stiffness there to keep;
Yea here my mother found q rest,
A sweet and tranquil sleep.
o, could my tears awake again
A fond, fond mothers heart,
Could but catch love-wrought strain
That seems, cen now to start
From those pale lips, in silence kept,
Whose tones were wont to still
Ere meath the sod my mother slept
Each joyless heart-string's thrill.
Could but sweetly list again
To words of mother love,
Sweet tones that soothe each bosom o pain
Gould one moment prove
A love that clingeth to the grave,
A child's affection true,
A heart that yearned in vain to save
From life's last sod sdieu;
Could but catch the last sweet strain
OF blessings fond, which fell
From those pale lips, and hear again
A mothers last farewell,
And, o, the last, the lingering trace
OF life that lit that brow,
The dying, trembling embrace
In fancy clinging now.
But no, I would not wish to call
The dead again to earth,
Though Of we miss, at evenings fall,
The sunbeam Of our hearth;
Though within our household band
We miss mothers smile,
A mothers voice and willing hand,
Sad hours to beguilc.
Though Oft we seek the silent grave
In solitude to pray
To Him who, with his blessings gave
Gave but to take away.
We know our mother has found home,
Where dying Is no more,
Where pain and sorrow cannot come,
And earthly cares are DER.
