Secure from dust are her most beauteous eyes ; Head on the polished shield her name and age. Our best beloved was but twenty-one! Ah ! angel raptures thrilled with too line racfo Her darling soul-chords ; hence she would bo gone, Halo am oriflamino ; God's home her stage, She ponders our removal there anon. Yes, when her mausoleum cloth house our; dust, Ida and we shall re-unite, we trust! Balsamic spie'ry keeps intact her frame, Triple recherche caskets guard our prize ; lacidand calm, as ere o'er seas she came, Fast locked in slumber, youthful Ida lies ! L. FISWbTISK. Auckland, January 24, 1889.
