Immortality Of The Soul.

IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL .

From an unpublished Poem BY BEO . GEORGE MARKHAM TWEDDELL . TF thou ne ' er leant in sorrow o ' er the bed

- * - Whereon some dear one linger'd in the pains That too oft herald the dread calm of Death ; Hast ne ' er , with tearful eyes , beheld expire A parent—or life ' s partner—or the child That should in thine old age have tended thee ; In thy infirmit y thy pillow smooth'd ,

And when " life ' s fitful fever " had pass'd o ' er , Have seen thee decentl y entombed ; if thou Ne ' er felt thy very heart-strings crack with grief When the cold grave has hidden from thy view Those whom thou dearest loved of all on earth ; Thou canst not realise how dear the hope

Of meeting once for aye in endless bliss Is to the mourner ' s soul . Rose Cottage , Stokesley .
