In Memoriam. - Miss. Emily B. Parish,
Formerly a Teacher in Hartford, died at Cleveland, Ohio, March 12th, 1862. Teachers,--she is not here With the first breath of Spring Her aid to your devoted band With cheering smile and ready hand Untiringly to bring. Pupils,--her guiding voice, Her sweetly warbled strain Urging your spirits to be wise With daily, tuneful harmonies Ye shall not hear again. Parents,--and loving friends The parents' heart who shared, Give thanks to that abounding grace Which led her through the Christian race, To find its high reward. Lover,--the spell is broke That o'er your life she wove, Look to her flitting robes that gleam So white, beyond cold Jordan's stream, Look to the Land of Love.
