But, Father, tis yet night with many a poor Lone heart—a night of storm; though years have sownBright, blooming flowers and herbage sweet, thick oerTheir lonely graves, far distant seems that shoreThose loved feet press—and widowed hearts still mournTheir buried joys. Fond mother, as in prayer you kneel, een nowYour boy is resting neath sweet olive shades; His lips are laved in waters pure; His brow is cool and damp with Hermons dew. Ah, how,Bright spirit, could we call thee from these gladesTo see our woe ? Dear Father ! as we come this day to spread Our humble tributes on each lowly grave,Lock not Thy heart; but as we bow the headIn meek submission, let thy grace be shed On all these mourning ones. We comfort have—They rest with Thee. FINIS. THB NEW YORK PUBLIC um*X*T REFERENCE DEPARTMENT wbo-vu—rriT to be taken from the Building.
