To the loving memory of Jas Boldrick. All is now well done, Earth and its troubles passed. A new and unknown life begun Which shall forever last. You whom we knew on earth, | Now as a spirit blessed, Shall evermore with the angels dwell And be at rest. We kiss your pale brow, And look at your calm face, No more pain or suffering now In its lines we trace. 1 Yours was a life of pain I Sometimes by tears oppressed. , We do not wish you back again. You are at rest. Hush you lie as in sleep Or wake as we draw near, Ah! that slumber deep Will never be broken here. We leave you to your repose And fold your hands on your breast, Never again to unclose. You are at rest. We lay you gently away Beneath the green sod, Your body to rest always, But your spirit has gone back to God. So we’ll let our tears be few, And not bv grief be oppressed. For you whom once on earth we loved Now are at rest. T. B. In W h a n g C h a n g 's T r i a l B e g in s .
