" ONLY."
Only a curl of silken hair, Like burnished gold, And yet its worth to a mother's heart Could not be told. Only a child's sweet voice grown still On a summer's day, — A pleasant voice, that lisped for a while, And faded away. Only two loving arms that lay On a mother's breast, Till the Shepherd came and took the lamb Away to its rest. Only a pair of rosy lips, ,Witha happy smile, • Parted, as if a gentle sleep Hushed them awhile. > Only the sound of little feet We loved to hear, * ■ . ' ■ Now laid to rest where* the snowdrops bloom , > In the ohurchyard near.' Only a little quiet' grave, * « ' • Beneath the sod ; ' .^ < - - Only a little ohild gone home ,' ■ To its rest in God. ,>, - , \
