REFLECTIONS ON THE DEATH OF REV. FRANKLIN
SMITH LEHMAN.
Cut down in youths glad day,
Where Hope was bright,
And Love rejoiced to bless his way
With sacred light
Could not his soul one moment stay,
Ere taking fiight2
Could not his life be spared to slay
The foes of right2
II.
And has he sunk to dreamless sleep?
The sternest heart full well might weep.
And breathe sigh.
And yet how sweet his slumber deep,
While ages fly;
His soul the angels guard and keep
His home. the sky.
III.
My friend, tits hard from thee to part!
Could Deaths harsh rod
Make still the throbbing of thy heart;
Thy form. clOd2
Thy body rests, slain by his dart,
Beneath the sod;
Thy soul, long since, with joy did start
To dwell with God.
