Not that her station was any thing to be

their children a slender provision, yet large
enough to live upon in respectability and

We Lay Us Down to Sleep.
We lay us down to sleep,
And leave to God the rest.
Whether to wake and weep.
Or wake no more be best.
WHY yex our souls with carer
The grave is cool and low
Have we found life so fair
That we should dread to go?
We've kissed Loves sweet red lips.
And left them sweet and red;
The rose the wild bee sips
Blooms on when he Is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found,
But they who love US best,
When we are underground
Will laugh on with the rest.
No task have we begun
But other nands can take;
No work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake. s.
Then fold US fast sweet Death,
II so it seemeth best
To Him who gave us breath,
That we should go to rest.
We lay us down to sleep.
Our weary eyes we close,
Whether to wake aud weep
Or wake no more, He knows.
