[8] Charles Henry Lanneau, who died in Charleston, in 1839, aged 6 years.
TO MY HUSBAND’S PICTURE.
When I can steal a moment alone,
I gaze on thine image, my sainted one!
And turn away with a heavy heart,
For, O, my love! we are far apart;
Thou art in Heaven, and I below,
A mourning widow, in weeds of woe.
I teach my heart to rejoice for thee,
O, glorified spirit! for thou art free!
