MB. STEPHEN'S VACANT CHAIR.
BY ARTHUR CLATTOIt.
The vacant chair with flowers filled,
That loving hands have plac’d with care,
While in his arms cold death hath stilled
The one who owned the vacant chair.
Vacant, though kindly filled with flowers,
And bedewed with many a tear ;
His the triumph—the sorrow that vacant ours— chair.
When we gaze upon
The hero’s crown hath no injunction, and the fair,
’Tis made for brave ones unction,
And heaven declares its sacred
To him who owned the vacant chair.
So. rest in peace, in Him reposing—
He hath given for thy share,
While in death thine eyelids closing,
A crown, in place of earthlv chair.
