On Presenting to her Tokens of Sympathy and Re membrance from NeighbOrs and Friends. Fair Friend, we often think of thee, But lest OCT wide oblivion's sea,
 Our barque's should drift along; We add thread to friendships line, That each about thy heart may twine,
 And know the anchor strong. We long have missed thee, and we fain Would soon thy sweet face see again,
 Among thy friends once more.
 We think the Lord thy faith hath set, In stars about thy coronet,
 Like Abraham's of yore.
 That as of old the angels rise,
 To stay the hand of sacrifice,
 And make the future blest;
 And that like sweet perennial flowers Patience adorns thy darkest hours,
 And calls thy waiting g-rest.
