Weeping m> th**r. bending lowly.
O'er thine infant’s early bier;
Cease to weep, thv child s in glory,
Cease lo shed that bitter tear.
Wherefore weep the one departed,
When eclat c bliss it shares?
Now from earth!*• sorrows parted ;
The victor's crown in heaven it wear*.
Tender mother Christ in mercy
Took thine to hi-* loving arm* ;
Far from every danger earthly,
Hath i. lodged where no hing harms.
Though you saw that lovely flower
Drop and wither, fade and die.
Yon are conscious that forever,
It will bloom beyond the sky.
Yes ! your Agnes dwells in heaven,
Livelier far than wh«*n below;
Singing now the heavenly anthem.
Joined by saints and angels to !
List ye ! hear that voice of gladness,
Bursting forth in grateful song ;
Notes that are enmixed w ith sadntss,
Float amid that happy throng.
Loving mother, thou art passing
Quickly th. ough this world ol woe;
Soon with joy shall then* be greeting
Friends above, who wait for thee.
Then let the locust gentlv wave.
In silent grandeur o'er the dead ;
And the white rose honor the grave.
Os her who sleeps in Christ her Head.
