 The tiny feet that softly battered round,
 The little form that gently glided near Has faded from our sight and hushed the sount ofthe gladsome voice we were wont to hear Before earth's sorrows could cloud his face,
 Or dim the brightness of his infant joy, Death seized him in his cold embrace
 And stilled the hand that moved the check
 CT toy.
 But harkl angel voices whispering near,
 ssAnother little one come to joia the serapl
 throng.'
 Christ hath said and wiped away the transfer
 tear,
 "Of such are Heavens Kingdom born.'
