Thou hast robb'd us of fathers most sacredly dear — Of mothers whose presence could comfort and cheer ; While the deai'ly lov'd sister so joyous and bright, With the brave-hearted brother have pass'd from our sight.
56 THE POETS WREA TH.
Thou hast call'd the young husl)and, in manhood's full glow: Tlie blooming young l)vide at thy l)idding must go ; E'en the habes we have cherish'd and nurtured with care — No tears, no entreaties, could move thee to spare.
Their lu-ight little heads are laid lo...w at our feet ; We linger and wait almost hoping to meet — Nay, longing to snatch from the cold cheerless grave The darling young forms we had pray'd thee to save.
We pray'd thee, but ah I did we know what we ask, Should we plead that their winning smiles longer might last? Did we see all their trials, temptations, and care, Methinks we should never entreat tliee to spare.
Could we gaze on the home where our little ones dwell, More joyous than poets or sages can tell. Most tenderly guarded by angels' fond care, Our hearts woidd i"e-eclio 'tis well tliev are there.
