scarlet fever, Mary RoZelle, daughter of John
Morton and Lucy McRae Walton, age years
and months
o cruel Death why com'st SO soon
To rob precious gem?
Full many q one already decks
Thy gloomy diadem!
Our darling angel child Rozelle
With 1airest eyes of blue,
Soft flaxen curls, and loving heart
Ave warm and fOndly true.
A thousand winning ways she owned
To cheat our older cares.
That none who saw her might be sad
But frightened unawares.
To her that matchless smile drew all
Whom she, with outstretched arms,
Welcomed, In loving confidence,
without child's alarms.
The prattle of her infant tongue
Just lisping its first words,
Was sweeter than the warblings soft
Ofjoyous woodland birds.
And richer than all harmony,
Natures and classic arts,
Her little unshaped utterance fell
On her proud parents hearts.
One sentence only she had learned,
Mamma, I'm going to kiss
Annie when comes, 1.-THE selfsame words
Oft said, filed us with bliss.
She did not kiss dear Annie here,
But waits to press her lips
Where life's and loves eternal beams
Can suffer no eclipse.
Rozelle is with the angels now,
Awaiting there her own
To greet her fond loved ones, to dwell
Close to the Fathers throne.
Dear little angel clothed in flesh,
Her sickness-so severe
She bore with patience, and she smiled
When dreadful death drew near.
Then angels came and waited her
Upon their shining wings.
To loving Jesus, by whose side
She sweetly smiles and sings.
We laid her wasted, pallid form
In leafy Hollywood.
To rise up on that glorious day
When Jesus calls the good.
Her little brother Morton lives
Fond Pa and Ma to cheer,
Yet still they think on dear Rozelle,
And shed the sorrowing tear.
Strange cause of lasting wonderment
That one almost divine
Should mount to heavens bright realms
SO soon
And cease for us to shine.
Yicksburg papers will please copy.
