In Memoriam. - Annie Seymour Robinson,

Topics: classic

Daughter of LUCIUS F. ROBINSON and Mrs. ELIZA S. ROBINSON, died at Hartford, Wednesday, April 10th, 1861, aged 6 years and 2 months.     Dids't hear him call, my beautiful?--         The Sire, so fond and dear     Who ere the last moon's waning ray,     Pass'd in his prime of days away,         And hath not left his peer?     Say, beckoning from yon silver cloud         Though none beside might see,     A hand that erst with love and pride     Its little daughter's steps would guide--         Stretch'd out that hand for thee?     The wreathing buds of snowy rose         That o'er thy bosom lay,     Were symbols in their beauty pale,     Of thy young life so sweet and frail,         And all unstain'd as they.     Oh stricken hearts!--bear up,--bear on,--         Think of your Saviour's grace,     Think of the spirit-welcome given,     When at the pearly gate of Heaven,         Father and child embrace.
