Precious treasures o. SO dear!
Lay aside the little dresses
In each fold mothers tear
God hath giveu-God hath taken.
Though it rends the heart in twain,
He but sends his frowns upon us,
To give back his smiles again.
She hath gone to wait your coming,
Smiling whore the angels stand:
Linging there at heavens gateway,
That she first may clasp your hand
