She saw the glorious spirit form of her sweet angel boy!
Enfolded in the Savior’s arms, one moment he would be,
While every smiling feature glow’d, all bright with ecstacy;
And when she seem’d to catch his eye, he’d spread his golden wings,
And stretch his little arms to her, whose bright imaginings
Were bearing her away from earth, to Heaven and to her child;
When such a vision met her gaze, what wonder that she smiled?
And with such high and holy thoughts, firm fastened to the skies,
What wonder that such looks were seen in those impressive eyes?
It was not strange, though strange it seem’d to those who ne’er had known
