In memory of GEORGE, youngest sol
of VIM. ard Sophia Cheesman, killed
by the cars, Feb. Is, 1880, aged s years
6 months and days.
Oh my boy no one was near you,
When you drew your latest breath,
And we knew naught of your suffering
Till we saw you cold in death.
Friends around your coffin gathered,
Their last look at thee to take.
Whilst thy mother in Ter anguish,
Cried my burden is too great.
Still still small voice repeating,
In Der heart of hearts she hears.
IN other, cease your bitter weeping,
Georgie's where there are no tears.
Safe within the arms of Jesus,
Doth your boy now sweetly rest,
Freed from all life's future trials,
In the mansions of the blest.

In youth time we shadow the deep;
