" Gently and tenderiy lay him to rest, Tiny hands folded apon the white breast; Sunny eyes closing, their light is all fled : Straighten the darling limhs - Cbarlie is dead! Fold the robe closer about the still forrrf, 'ress the cold lips wbjch loves kiss cauit warm ; 'ears droplike ïain on the boaiitiful head, Vilil sobs are bursting, for Charlie is dead! "Dead to the wncping eyes watching him hereDead as ye follow beliiiul the black bier ; Darknessand silencc within the cold graye: Have ye forgotten the Hand which can save1! " Never like this hath thy mother-heart Wed Witb anguish that would not be comforted; No sorrow before but thy soul could say, 'Thy will be done, Fatlier, not mine, always!' 'Wait, mother, in patience! - God pitieth thee, Vnd watcbeth thy struggles all toiiderly L'ill at last from tliis fearful cloud shall shine A beautiful faith in bis love divine.
