Alone, yet undismay'd, her post she kept,
Guiding a household in the same good ways
Of order and of hospitality.
So, when with mild decline, the sunset came,
Her powers still unimpair'd, all willingly
As a confiding and obedient child
Goes to its father's house, she went above.
Daughter of Col. Samuel and Mrs. Elizabeth Colt, died January 20th, 1862, aged 7 months and 27 days.
THE MOURNING MOTHER.
