[ON THE BURIAL OF A CHILD.]

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.

Rev. xiv. 13.

Lo! now the victory’s gain’d me,

And here my journey ends;

For parting tears that pain’d me,

I now have full amends:

Dear friends! because I leave you,

Be not so sore distrest;

For what indeed should grieve you?

I’m happy and at rest.
