Old age has nearly numbered now my days;
'Tis fit that

HE was too young to die"
Could not he then far better here have served
His fellow men ~
BY living peacefully, in right unsweryed,
His three score years and ten?
All, thus have / so full of dumb despair,
Reviewed IL oft;
And sometimes, in the quieter twilight air.

TOO young to die? All, mother. say not SO;
My son, the Christ,
OF all best fitted to serve below,
Was early sacrificed"
When thus 1 muse. / cease to mourn, to feel
