such a child seems a sad mistake,
but xve remember wilh some com
fort the following which Long

The Lord hath n I of these
How ers gay,
The reaper said and smiled.
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where he was once a child.
So the father gave in tears ami
pain
The llower he most did love,
Hut he knew that he should tiud
him once uuain
In I he I'.ehls of light ami love.
Oh not in bitterness, not in wrath.
Did the reiier come (hat day,
'Twas an angel visited the green
earl b
And look I be llower axvav.
