10 the Memory Of Harvey Grnnt,
who died Dec. Is, 1875.

10 the Memory Of Harvey Grant
who died Dec. Is, 1873.
See the Mother bending l0wly
O'or her infants Graded bed;
Hear her how she weeps and moaneth
When they say her darling's dead
See her kiss his marble forehead,
Ere they lay him meath the sod;
Hear her doubt our Fathers goddess
All. she cannot kiss the rod"
Dead oh God can 1t be!
Her beautiful red-lipped baby,
Her boy with the golden hair
Her Harvey with eyes like pansy,
And the little dinIpled hands,
Has gone away with the angels,
TO the somewhere's distant lands.
Dead all she cannot believe 1t!
And closes her eyes to feel
Her baby's touch on her bosom,
And see him humbly kneel
In his little white robe before her,
And clasp his little hands,
But no he has gone with the angels,
To the somewhere unknown lands.
Dead her beautiful darling,
Only two years from heaven.
If it be wrong thus to sorrow,
Pray God she be forgiven.
But gently as the moons soft shadow
Breaks the darkness Of the night,
So the Saviour bears her upward
Through realm Of cloudless light.
Bore her far beyond the shadows
or this dark and sinful life,
Placed her by the heavenly portal
Where there ends all weary strife.
Eagerly she looked among them
For her little baby son,
Looked in vain among the angels
Could not find her darling one.
Then again she scanned those faces,
And her heart soon tbrobbed with joy
Close within the arms Of Jesus
Lay her darling Harvey boy.
Oh. so lovingly he nestled
In those soft and tender arms;
All life's wars for him are over,
Past are all the dark earth's storms.
