Was thy departure, lovely youth,
Whose hope we trust built firm in youth,

For mountains on their head to fall,
Thy voice shall join in glory's song, And to eternity the strains belong.

Farewell my husband and my children dear,
No sighs nor griefs for me : suppress your tear ;
To all farewell, receive this last adieu ;
In realms of bliss my thoughts shall visit you.
As up from infancy to youth I grew, Fair were my prospects-all delightful new ;
New joys transporting did my mind engage, As thus I travelled on life's busy stage.
But ah ! the cold and palsied hand of death Laid hold and preyed upon my vital breath ; No healing balm, nor art, nor skill was found To give relief, or cure the mortal wound. With cheering hope I wait to meet my doom,
When called by Jesus from the silent tomb;
Then on the wings of faith I'll calmly soar To meet my God above : that God adore.
