Our God, to call us homeward,

His only Son sent down;

And now, still more to tempt our hearts,

Has taken up our own.

ON THE TOMBSTONE OF A CHILD BLIND FROM BIRTH.

There shall be no night there.

ON A CHILD FOUR YEARS OLD, WHO WAS BURNED TO DEATH.

“O!”

Says the gardener, as he passes down the walk,

“Who destroyed that flower? Who plucked that plant?”
