Little feet so soon grown weary.
Little restless baby feetI
Were all earthly paths so dreary,
And the way to Heaven so sweet?
Standing at Life's very portal
Midst its sunshine and lis flowers,
That you seek the shoes immortal,
That you turn away from ours Z
Little face of waxen beauty,
Little form Of perfect mould,
Must Love hold so hard duty,
Must the tomb those charms enfold?
Must we yield our precious token,
This our idol, made Of clay,
Lying like a snOw-drop, broken
From its parent stem awnyf
Little hands so white and slender,
Folded on the baby breast,
Gold The touch, once warm and tender,
Still the lips which ours have prest
Vet those silent lips and fingers
Here record truth sublime,
This Where human love still fingers,
Faith can make that love divinei
And, 10 patient resignation,
Death itself may lose its sting,
Whilst pure and sweet oblation
From broken heart may spring.
Yes, Mother yields her cherished,
God receives the auttering breath,
Grave, thy victory hath persisted,
Faith hath triumphed over death
Little Bartis smiles from Heaven,
Safe from every care and loss,
Lent awhile to us--not given,
die the crown, and ours the cross.
