Lines on the Death of a Child

By Mrs. Sigourney

You mourn the sweetest loss / Plucked from your garden bower. / A sunbeam blotted from your sky / To gild the lonely hour; / You miss a voice of song / A brow, no frown that wore, / A fairy footstep from the hall, / that must return no more.

Yet think of all her bliss, / The angel robe who wears, / So early called to soar above / Earth's company of cares; / Think how her warbled hymn / In ecstasy doth arise / And in the arms of faith embrace / Your darling in the skies.

Oneonta Herald, Oneonta, NY, February 22, 1854
