HE closed his eyes, and to the skies The little cherub's gone ; How many cares, how many snares, He's left, our little one ; How many tears, how many years, May be of sorrow too ; How many throes, sweet child, like those Our hearts now give to you ; They only know, who live below, This sinful earth upon They only know, the pains and woe, You've left, our little one. He lived awhile, to lisp and smile, Our fond delight to be, And that was more, Eternal Power, Than we deserved from thee ; Why sho...uld we weep, to see him sleep, So silent and so cold If he had lived, he might have grieved, And wretched grown, and old; 'Twere better far, before the war Of life is here begun, To leave it all, at Heaven*s call, Our precious little one. His father's prayer, his mother's tear, Alas ! he never knew-*- DESCRIPTIVE, ETC. 195 Or if he did, he smiled and fled, His Heavenly Father to ; Yes, it was meet his little feet, Upon the brink of time, Should wait to bear that tear, that prayer, Up to the Heavenly clime.
