Hark! Death's angel passeth by us, / And his breath is cold and chill; / Tiny hands again he's folded, / And the busy feet are still.

To that tender flow'r, this earth-home / Was too cold, and chill, and dreary; / For it drooped as winds passed o'er it, / And the little feet grew weary.

One more household flow'r is gathered / From those desert grounds below, / And to Eden Bowers transplanted, / Where the crystal fountains flow.

Two there were that lately bloomed / Only one today you see; / Watched you sadly as that wee one / Was by angels borne away!

Why this sadness o'er you stealing? / One more angel joins the throng, / Taken ere the sin-stains gathered, / Or the little heart knew wrong.

Father, mother, wait with patience, / Soon your earth-toil will be o'er; / Then your angel waits to welcome, / As you reach the "Golden Shore."    Clara P.
