Ournged mother, ripo in years,

Death's icy arms, so cold and chill.
Have bade her throbbing heart be still.
Her spirit freed, now soars away,
Where flowers bloom nn every spray,
Where Hoods of beauty ever roll,
In loving waves around tlio soul,
For many vears her gentlo voico
Has made our youthful hearts rejoice,
And many times her hands have pressed
Our acliing brows and made them blest,
But now no more will she impart
A solace to our drooping heart;
Her voice is silent, and at rest;
Her hands ho quiet on her breast.
We'll gently lay her form away
To moulder back to earth nnd clay;
Vet ever lit remembrance bear
A loving thought of mother's care.

Approach the threshold of your door.
Ho may liayo erred, but who has not?
Let now his errors bo forgot.

Unto that sphere, of which you know
So little. et perhaps when there.
