On wings; ,
Yet near thy clay thy .mother’s heart
All woakly, fondly clihgs.
M,v bcaute<)UH child, with lid-i of enow
Closed o'ar thy dim blue e.'as,
Should it not soothe my grief to know
They shine beyoud the skies?
Above thy rileut ect I kneel,
With heart hll crushed and sorb,
Wnile through the gloom these sWeet
words steal:
‘‘Not lost, but gone before.”

My darling child, these flowers I lay
On locks too fare, too bright.
For the damp grave mist, cold and
gray,
To dim their sunny light;
Soft baby tresses, bathed in tears,
Your gold was all my t>wu!
Ah, weary months/ ah, weary years!
That I must drirfell alooel
My only child I hold thee still.
Clasped iu my fond ktubrace!
My love, my »w«?et! how fixed, bow

The grave is cold, my clasp is wand,
Yet give thw up I irsntt;
And birds will arog when tby loved

Lies mouldering in tho dust.
My angel child, thy tiny foot „
Danes through my broken dreams;
Ah me, how joyous, quaint and sweet
1 heir baby pilfering seems!
I hush my breath t" hear thee speak; ;
I see wake'’to thy red l.p-part,
But fe. I thy cold, sold cheek
Clo-e to my breaking heart.
Soon, soon, my burning tears shall

Resigned, though wounded soro.

Tha other evening a hall boy rashed
