And lead them to the heav'nly pastures bright.

91. TO SARAH ANNA HOPKINS.

Sarah, my much-lov'd grandchild, thou dost bear

An ancient name of honor; on this day,

Which marks just sixteen years, quick fled away

Since first thou didst draw in the vital air;

No greeting need I give thee, but my prayer,

Utter'd with all the fervency I may,

That of her "faith in God" the pow'rful sway,
