To the beautiful and accomplished Mrs.
Maggie B. c., we submit the following
I'm thinking of her girlhooq's home,
That was so bright and gay,
And or the many changes wrought
Since she has been away.
Yes, in her absence cruel death
Has been within the door,
And that maternal smile of love
Will welcome her no more.
They laid her Sainted mothers dust
In its cold narrow bed
Her ranSomed, ripened, happy soul
10 Glory having lied.
They have removed some Old heirlooms
And brighter things abound,
But oft piece of veSture worn
There unaWareS Is found.
A dingy-looking Bible lies
In its accustomed Place
margined reference here and there
No hand will e'er erase;
And in the corner empty sits
faded cushioned chair,
No rumpled pillow on the couch,
No precious mother there.
The old clock still is ticking on,
1t has lonely ring
That mother high in heaven hears
The songs her children sing.
