THE CHRISTIAN NAME.
Sweetei than sweetest madrigal, Of night's enchanting bud, Often long silence is tlie call 01 that taimli.il void. Ob never do we 1 mm our fate, Called to a foieign shore, Until amidst the cold or great, That name is heaid no nioic. And fiist repeated many a time, In fond and joyous tone, It tells us fi oiii that distant clime, That we have leached our own. Hope, Love, and Tiulh as once they came lieiore out eager eyi', Come back to us with that deal name, No more toi us to die. It was a mother's love avoke, For thee that simple woid, Within a mothei's bicast itspoUe, By other eais nnheuul. And nu'ei shall tall in altei jears, Those accents tiom another, My son, but tliou shnlt mouin with teau, The memoiy of thy motlici. Yes, countless gifts by honest piayer, When fust that name was given, All that a motlici 1 love might daie, » Weie asked toi usfioni heaven. And till oni faintest bieath dcpait, To Hun liom whom it c.imc, Deal shall be ever to the hcait, Oni blessed Cluistidn Name. St. Georci. Auckland, July ist\\, 1852.
