Signification . . . Mourning. 
Emblem .. Pheasant’s Eye. 
Sentiment .Sorrowful Remembrance. 
Sat not that the ties of affection are riven, 
Although to the grave thy torn heart has resigned 
her; 
The mandate that Called her freed spirit to heaven, 
But lengthened the ties that so fondly entwined her. 
Then weep not for her,—she’s hut passed on before thee 
To unite in the rapturous anthems above; 
Where sweetly her harp with the ransomed in glory. 
Is attuned to the theme of redemption and love. 
Ay! joy in the thought, that to her it was given, 
To escape from earth’s snares to the home of the blest; 
Good, good was the word that removed her to heaven, 
Bor this dark world of sorrow might not be her rest. 
In that far “better land” where no sin can assail her, 
And beyond the dark vale, which her Saviour once 
trod, 
Bull glorious her rest—then no longer bewail her— 
’T is the rest that remains to the people of God. 
—Anon.
