(BY DAIsY.)


Her busy hands are folded
Her work on earth is dCDo,
Her trials all are ended,
Her Heavenly crown Is won
Upon her brow, so peaceful,
No earthly shadows rest.
For anxious cares reach never,
The mansions OF the blest.
Within the home she frightened,
Her quiet course is run;
A life of pure unselfishness--
A woman's work well done.
That SAD and lonely household
Now miss her guiding ham,;
The daughter loving, clinging,
Without her aid must stand:
The children, mothers counsel
Can have o. earth no more,
No more her hand will lead them
Save on the Heavenly shore.
Then on the shore eternal,
Her reckoning spirit stands,
Unto her living loved ones,
To ioin the Heavenly bands.
