ON THE DEATH OF A CHILD.

“Of such is the kingdom of Heaven.”

[figure description] Page 148.[end figure description]



Withdrawn in love from earthly pain,
And every evil passion's power;
Borne from the world ere sin could stain
Or sorrow blight the opening flower:
How sweet to think the cherub fair,
That so on earth absorbed our love,
Transplanted by an angel's care,
Blooms in the Paradise above!
And shall we meet him in the sky,
So loved and so lamented here?
And shall we greet again on high
The face and form on earth so dear?
Then let us calmly wait the day,
The glorious day of Heavenly bliss;
Joy cannot speed nor sorrow stay
The hour that brings a boon like this!
B.
