To My Wife. Wliett tickr.ess called me to thy side To soothe thy burning woe, God knows, I rather would have died Than see thee suffer so. And when I saw bow pale thy cheek, llow dim had grown thy eve. And thou so patient and so meek, I thought that I would die. But soon the scorching Fever’s blast O’ertook thy heaving frame, And fierce Delirium following fast, With shadowy terrors came ; And dark eclipses around thee cast, And wrapt my soul in flame! No tongue can -tell how I was pained To view thy piteous plight, For ’mid the ruin Love remained, Though beauty took her flight— ILs precious pledges still retained ’Mid all that Beauty’s blight. And Metiorics of other years Came surging at my heart— Their joys and griefs, their hopes and fears Love's smile and Sorrow’s sinnrt— While Reason almost drowned in tears, Proclaimed that uv must jicri'. And while the dreadful tempest wrung Each fiber of thy brain, While on the doubtless issue hung Hopes that we felt were vain; And thy poor lacerated tongue Shrivkt-d out through blood amain— I felt as if my life of life My heart of heart were crushed. I could not view that awfuul strife— Forth from the scene I rushed: Aloud I cried, “ My wife! my wife!” My grief would not be hushed. In wild, though subdued accents then, Lowly I sought the Throne Where sits the Savior of men, ’Mid glories all his own: “ Dear .Jesus 1 quicken her again, Or. leave not mr alone!” Invisibly an angel came, All trauglit with Mercy’s balm, Diffusing through thy tortured frame A holy, heavenly calm; And in that hour sweet Hope returned.
