To that bright and happy country,
Which henceforth viii be its home.
Gentle mother, cease thy weeping,
Mourn not for this little gem,
For the Fathers voice is saying,
"Jewels for my diadem."
All the storms that cross thy pathway,
Now, can never mar its peace,
For the angels gentle summons
Gave thy child sweet releases
Aud among immortal bowers
They will crown its soul with light,
Angel hands will guard IL better
Than could thine, through earths dark
night,
And the hands that lay so camly
Der the pure untaintod breast,
Never will be tired Of toiling,
Never long for peaceful rest.
They will teach thy babe, sad mother,
OF the form on earth so dear,
II will learn to love thee better
Than 1t could have loved thee here.
II will speak tho name Of mother,
Tendsry in Heaven above,
And will meet the by the river,
Whispering gentle words Of love.

And the eyes that ne'er can shine,
With their love for thee, in earth life,
Thou canst say in Heaven are mine."
Though the little rosy fingers
Never culled earth's "a ding flowers;
Mourner, smile thy babe is weaving
Wreaths in Heavens fairest bowers.
And the soul that knew not sorrow,
Neither darkness, doubt or pain;
Where the peace Of life is lasting,
There 1t will be thine again,
Thou canst kiss the lips like roses,
Hold the hands with fingers white,
And can watch thy angel darling,
With its face Of glorious light.
Cease thy weeping, God is with thee,
And loves tic is never riven;
Oh thy babe will guide the upward
To tue golden port Of Heaven.
