a little five year-old boy, and an only

None knew thee but to love thee, .-.
None named thee but to praise.
1t is little matter at what hour Of day
The righteous fall asleep.
Death cannot come
To him untimely who has learned to die,
The less of this brief life the more of
heaven;
/ The shorter time ;the longer immortality.
