OVER THE RIVER.

over The river they beckon 10 NE
Loved ones, whove crossed to the further side;
Jhe g!eam of their snowy robes see,
But their voices drowned in the rushing tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection Of heavens own blue;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
We not the angels who met lin there,
The gates of the city we could Eot see
Over the river, over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome me-
Over the river, the boatman pale
Carried another r-the household pet;
Her brown eurls waved in the gentle gale =,
Our darling Minnie I see her vet
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark.
We watched it glide from the silver sands
And all our sunshine seemed strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be-
over the river. over the river
My ehidhood's idol is waiting for me-
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatm:n cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch CLEAN of the snowy SAIL
And 10 they have passed from cur yearniug heart
They cross the stream and are gone for aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from vision the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with us DER life's stormy sea,
Yet somewhere, know, On the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me- =
And sit and think when the sunsets gold3
Is flushing on river, and hill and Shore
shall one day stand by the water cold,
Aud list for the sound of the boatman's oar:
shall watch for CLEAN Of the tapping SAIL
/ shall hear the boat it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatnran pale
10 the better shore of the spirit land
shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joy yfuly sweet will the meeting be-
when over the river, the peaceful river
The,Ange of Death shall carry me-
