by Unknown

Death gazed, and left it there. He dared not steal

The signet-ring of heaven.

L. H. Sigourney.

Child, there is One, the High above all Height,

Who doth not scorn thee—

Ever, from Him, may beams of Heavenly light

Comfort—but warn thee—

That from youth’s innocence each proud removal

Is a departure from His best approval.
