THREE SONNETS.
BABY's BED.

BABY's BED.
so straight and narrow is the quiet bed
In which my precious little darling sleeps,
l could OF leave her there In peace, alone,
Without the knowing God doth marx His own,
And keeps safe watch DER all those little beds,
Which cast short shadows In the morning sun
Ended their pilgrimage ere day begun.
And throws soft coverlet OF summers sheen,
Bordered with daisies and with grasses green,
sOr winters pure white sheet OF drifted snow.
Above the dreamless form that slumbers low.
And so could not leave my lamb alone,
Without the knowing, God doth markH His own.
THE LAST GooD.BY.
When first the shadow OF the angel fell
Upon the little form loved SO we'll
The tender trusting heart so near my own.
Its every heart throb TO my own made moan,
The presence Of the angel we call Death,
She was the first TO feel the solemn call,
And whilst heard his wings with bated breath,
She meekly bowed and said: Good night 10
all.
To all last good night, good night TO all"
Then silence fell, the chilly night came on,
The midnight still. the breaking Of the dawn.
But with the morn my darling passed to where
My heart shall hear her say some blessed day
No more sad Good night" but sweet Good
day"
AN AMARANTH.
We weave our garlands for the young and fair,
And lay them on their graves with tender care,
For pity oft-they were so young and fair!
But for the old, grown weary with the strife.
Whose feet have trodden long the ways OF life;
THE aged saint, whose earthly pilgrimage
Was fraught with burning tears and thorns and
care,
We weave no garland for their finished page.
And so bind an amaranth for thee
Tried servant faithful heart, and friend TO me,
Fond mother, duteous wife and widowed heart,
Whose life has ended with the setting sun
And lay IL on thy quiet grave apart,
Fit emblem OF the blessed life begun.
