Tho' 'twas a mortal we have lost / From a chill world of wo and vice, / Eden no sweeter flower could boast / Than this fresh bud in Paradise.

And tho' the heart so rudely torn, / With anguish to the loved one clings, / We feel that while on earth we mourn, / In heaven "God's new angel sings."

Tho' twice the Archer's shaft hath flown, / And parents! twice your peace is slain; / Tho' filial love you now bemoan, / That ministering care may live again.

Tho' you may here, her loss regret, / While in a foreign clime you roam, / O'er Heaven's blest shore your own Jenette / A lovely star may guide you home.
