T'D MN MOTHER.

Mother, the grass upon Tonr grave
Has grown and waved for many year;
While, out on times triumphant wave,
The flowers smile which heaven gave
To deck with cherished love your bier.
At first my eyes we're wet with grief,
Which flowed through sorrows tount way
But soon my soul found glad relief,
And glistened like the forest leaf
When the sun lights up rainy day.
But now the pang that once was glooln
Beams bright as sunshine on the sky;
look with mildness on thy TOMB,
Which once thought was horrors DOOM
"That death was death alone to die"
But looking down tie yale of time,
Through wi.dom's brighter ripening shade
see from off this sphere of crime
Unto the angels sunny cline,
The happier transfer God has made.
see the years of mortal care
Melt in Eterlnity's bright gleam;
That some are 100 good and fair
For this wide valley Of despair,
; Or even mortal's failest dream.
sec the wisdom of God
Is greater far than any other;
: The dream is real that you have dreamed,
; The harvest rich that you have cleaned
Patient, waiting, angel mother.
