THOUGHTS ON eAsY's HAND.

bill il ever grow hard with toilinsf
win a ever bo stained with crimet
tin il WELD the pen of the gifted,
And trace out its soul song in rhymss
Will 10 soften the pillow OF sickness,
And smooth out the wrinkles OF carsf
will IL guide the steps OF the penitens,
And point to the altar Of prayerS
will these little waxen figures,
Which now lay clasped in mine,
Be rough and hard when years have howu,
Or be- white and wear jewels that shinsp
An, now there comes a sad question,
And ask 10 with fear and dismsy.
Will this dear little hand while no larger thar
now,
Be laid in the cold grave away
Dear dear little hand full OF dimples,
My wish Is, when childhood has flown,
Thy clasp may be true and each that meet
thine
May be as sincere ~ thine own.
Receiving and giving a blessing,
Pressed only in friendship and love.
And, when il no longer has earth work to do.
Join hands with the angels above.
