* WEEP NOT . " Luke xxiii . 28 . Weep not that In the bloom of hope and youth , Undimned by grief or sickness—spotless Truth , Unsullied Purity * and generous Love , With cheerful Faith that fixed her trust above * Have winged their flight to that celestial shore * Where severed hearts , ere long , shall meet to part no more .

* ' Ve sorrow not even as others which hare no hope /* 1 Thess . iv , \ 39 When all is tranquil as a vernal day , Smooth as the waters of yon gliding stream ; Bright as their glance beneatk the morning ray , Gilded by young Hope ' s ever-kiudling beam i
A sudden darkness veils the trembling skies , Chills the sunk Mart with horror and affright ; Death ' s fearful shadow o ' er the landscape flies , And wraps all Nature in impervious night . But soon a voice , like music softly stealing * O ' er the hushed spirit , calms her wild despair ; Stills the deep throb of agonizing feeling / And whispers , " Faint not , for thy God is there . "
No longer hov ' ring round the untimely bier ; No longer drooping o ' er the faded dust , Meek Resignation dries Affection ' s tear , And heavenward Faith reclines on God her trust . Soon shall the awakened Earth confess His power j Soon shall the startled grave resign its prey - , Soon shall the faithful hail their raptured hour , And soul meet soul in never-clouded day . M .
