"Cherub,—come home."
Widow of the late Spencer Whiting, Esq., died at Hartford, April, 1859, aged 88.
Life's work well done, how beautiful to rest.
Aye, lift your little ones to see her face,
So calmly smiling in its coffin-bed!
There is no wrinkle there,—no rigid gloom
To make them turn their tender glance away;
And when they say their simple prayer at night
With folded hands,—instruct their innocent lips
