IT'S night, and clustered round a dying
bed,
A group OF friends, whose hearts are
almost broken,
One bending o'er her, whispers-she Is
dead!
Oh. saddest words that e'er on earth
were spoken.
There'll be no parting hour in heaven, no
OF sorrow shed in all that world Of
light!
No fading beauty, no distracting fear,
Lest, after all, we miss. the path OF
right!
No orphan child, no voice Of music
hushed,
No shrinking back from Jordan's chill
ing wave!
No coffin lid, no hearts with anguish
crushed,
To gather round the new-made open
grave!
And she is there! ''Not lost, but gone
before;
Methinks l see her with the shining
bandr'
Oh! what glad greetings on the Canaan
shore,
What shouts of welcome in the ''glory
landw
A darling sister, long an angel there,
With rapture flew and opened wide the
gates;
And yet another, with her shining hair
And saint-like beauty, stops her flight
and waits
The crown is given, the robe of spotless
white!
The palm Of victory, and the harp of
gold,
And she hath learned thal, song oI
strange delight
That mortal hath not heard, nor Ian
guage told!
Farewell, sweet friend, we'll miss thy
words of cheer. :,
Thy smile of love that frightened all
the way
But while we mourn in gloom and dark
ness here,
We know thine is long and cloudless
day.
