TO A •\\i:i-PlXG WII.LOW IN (iRIMSBY 

 CEMETERY. 



^^^^^EXEATH the mossy bosom of 

 ^^&' the sod, 



With slow and reverend hands 

 we laid to rest 



Our loved ones side by side. 

 Sweet thought of God 

 That raised thy head, child of our 

 mother's breast. 

 Thy pendant frondlets drooji so kindly o'er. 

 And sigh amid the sough of summer 

 breeze ; 

 While softlv suririno^ wavelets on the shore 



Are murmuring sweetly, minor symphonies. 

 Kind sympathiz(ir, burden-bearer, iriend ; 



Lo\-e, like an autumn mist, rests on thy leaves. 

 In unshed tears ! with ours th\- love doth blend 

 While the fell Angel gathers up his sheaves, 

 Thy beauteous fringe, thy ht-avenly drapery, 

 The sleejjer mantles, as love's mystery.
