us be consoled to think that Still
ed are her hands in slumber, as
they lie on her quiet breast; the
task of her day is ended, in the dusk
of well-earned rest; but the hands
that will rest so peaceful, under the
rose and the sod, shall stir in the
dawn of tomorrow, and link in the
hands Of God. Sealed are her lips
in slumber, but sweetness of peace
shall trace, lines of content on
these quiet lips, smile on the love-
ly face Lips that shall answer
nothing under the rose and the sod,
till the lips are awakened in greet
ing and answers the voice of God.
Closed are her eyes forever, eyes
that no more shall know, glory Of
sun and starlight, and spring when
the blossoms blow; they are sealed
till the dawn of tomorrow, under
the rose and the sod; to wake in
the dawn of redemption, and look
on the face of God. For the family
the Watcher, she always learn
ed to watch for us, anxious if we
were late; in winter by the window,
in summer by the gate; and though
we Knocked her tenderly, who had
such foolish care; the long way
home would seem more safe, be-
cause she waited there. Her
thoughts were all so full of us-she
never could forget! And SO l think
that where she is, she must be wait
ing yet; waiting until we come
home to her, anxious if we are late,
watching from heavens window, or
leaning from heavens gate.
