In Memoriam.
So good ; Avith hope well fixed on rig ht foundation , On " Eock of Ages , " like thy father dying ; Tims right at heart , fulfilling each relation , On HeaA'en relying . So land to all , from highest to the loAvest ;
Soother of SOITOAA ' , Irving to shed bliss ; Ah ! tender mother , thine OAVU death thou OAvest To thy child ' s kiss . So clever , cultured deep in various learning , Well hast thou all thy gifts and graces ivorn ;
O ' er thee , in deepest sorrow , fondly yearning Two Empires mourn . " A grand , SAveet song ' s" thy life ; its notes are stealing O ' er million hearts , in myriad darkened homes ; The mighty poAver of goodness thus revealing
Where ' er its music comes . DOAVU here , is all the gloom and bitter Aveeping ; ( 0 may thy dear ones find sweet solace given !) Up there , a holy festival they ' re keeping With thee in Heaven !
J . 0 . J .
IN MEMOEIAM . C . T . AH ! " kindly light" * that leads the mourners on
, , Through mist and cloud , to yon eternal cliine , Where life and groAvth are measured not hy time , And full-orbed Love crowns love on earth begun . Weep not , sad hearts , for her , Avho UOAV hath Avon The crown of joy that fadeth not aivay , Where , in the light of everlasting day ,
Lost " angel faces " Avait her near the Throne . Weep not , but pray , for those to ivhoin are left The toil and burden of the lonely years , Life ' s sunset sky of all its gloAV bereft , And distant hopes as yet half-seen through tears :
So , living as she lived , in faith and hope , May they , and we , yet climb the mountains cloud-girt slope ! E . H . P . Addington ; December * 7 th , 1878 .
