In Loving Remembrance of our Darl-
ing Baby
Little Hugh Augustus Miller,

AItSsS 1luSh AuSuoSuS NAhASAS
Died June /, 1908, Aged 9 months and
IL days.
Our darling baby, our hearts mourn
thee and aches with a sorrow that God
alone can help us to endure Oh. there
is not an hour of day or dreary night
that we do not think of thee and
miss thy sweet smile There is not a
wind that blows DER thy soft rcpose
that doth not syllable thy name.
Step lightly, speak softly,
Try to check the sad meeting,
Look lovingly on him, ere he lies meath
And remember, for comfort his spirit is
resting,
So peacefully now, in the bosom Of God.
He is not gone-he's with US,
For his spirit hover near.
Our sad and lonely hearts find comfort
in these sad hours,
For when life's day is ended,
Tho our fear and hopes are
Back to this earth he will spread his
wings
And beckon us all to come.
Back with him to Gods kingdom,
Where we will find no cause to weep.
Happy with him around the throne,
The reward of peaceful sleep.
Dear Lord! it is hard to keep from COM
planning,
So heavy and grievous, from thy hand IS
this blow;
When we know, such as he in Heaven,
are plentiful,
While here we ali loved him and need
him SO.
Oh! Lord, forgive US, if aught of re-
bellion,
Is mixed with our gratitude in hearing
him yearn;
The folding doors once of Thine own
heart were opened
Ger the death of friend in grief and in
tears.
We know he is happy, and little angel
and he is at rest.
Yet it makes our hearts heavy to think
of thy parting,
That tells us on earth we shall see our
darling babe no more.
Aye, but the time'll soon come when we
who are waiting
VIII answer like him, the summons to
come,
And then we shall meet him with JOY
everlasting
United forever in our Heavenly home.
HIS LOVING FATHER AND MOTHER.
