A. the sweet flower that scents the morn,
But withers in the rising day:
Thus lovely was this infants dawn,
Thus swiftly ded its life away.
It died ere its expanding soul
Had ever burnt with wrong desires
Had ever spurned at Heavens control,
Or ever quenched its sacred fires.
Il died to sin 1t died to cares.
But fer . moment felt the rod;

Such are the children of our God. S.
