THY DARLING IS NOT DEAD! FOND mother, do not weep ! Though we have laid him in the grave's cold bed, And death hath lull'd him to his long, last sleep, Thy darling is not dead! That which we gave to earth Was but the garment by the spirit worn, Death to the outer is the inner's birth; A seraph now he's born. A prince among his peers, 'Mong bright child angels now, he lifts his head. Oh let this thought restrain for aye thy tears, " My darling is not dead. " Rather rejoice that now Thou hast in ...Heaven laid up this treasure rare, That thou hast dropt behind Death's goring plough One seed of fruitage fair. From which one day thou'lt reap, When thine own span of lower life hath sped, The golden harvest, piled in garner 'd heap, For why ? He is not dead ! WEE TIBBIE'S GARLAND. 101 Why vainly dost thou grope For some faint opening to the light above, When thine own heart, doth hold a star of hope A mother's deathless love? Were there no other light, This one live glimmer o'er thy spirit shed, Like God's own finger on the gloom, would write- " Thy darling is not dead.
