A gentleman friend of the deceased
dedicates the following lines to the
afflicted family:
All, how heeting are the moments,
And how certain is the end
Death himself bears us the token
When he takes away friend.
To the nearest and the dearest
He doth surely ever come,
And he leaves but woe and sorrow
In the bright and happy home.
o, fond parents, you feel lonely,
For your darling boy is dead;
You will miss him now returning
From the mines with manly tread.
And his many acts of kindness
Nevermore on earth you'll know,
For the God Of justice called him
And his spirit had to go.
Weep not, o loving parents,
For your boy is only gone
To pray for you in heaven
Before our Savior's throne.
Farewell, them youthful spirit,
Thy earthly course is rum
Thy pilgrimage is ended,
And Eternity is won.
Like the truly noble soldier
When the hour Of death was near,
Called for his spirits armor,
Then tor his parents dear.
Bright the future was before him,
But God marked him for His own,
And that soul, 50 good and noble,
viii be brighter near His throne.
o think of him, fond comrades
Ne'er let his memory die,
For he watches o er your actions
From his dwelling i'll the sky.
Think OF him, fraternal brothers,
Loving sisters, ne'er forget
Your fond and gentle brother
In the spirit liveth yet.
