At length, then, the tenderest of mothers is gone!
Her smiles, her love accents, can glad thee no
That once cheerful chamber Is silent and lone,
And for thee all child's precious duties are
DER.
Her welcome at morning, her blessing al night
No longer the crown OF thy comforts can be;
And the friend seen and loved since thine eyes
first saw light
Thou canst ne'er see again. thou art orphan'd
like me.
Oh, change! from which nature must shrink
overpOwer. d.,
Till faith shall the anguish remove and CON
DENIM
For the change TO those blest ones who "die in
the Lord
Though to us it brings sorrow, gives glory to
them.
