MY DEAD TREASURE.

liITTiE feet that ran to meet me As I entered at the door— Little arms that clung around me— I shall see thee nevermore. Little eyes so full of gladness— Little lips bo sweetly soft: In my hours of silent sadness, O ! I think of thee so oft! Little hands, with loving fingers, Held aloft for me to kiss— :O:!,how memory fondly lingers Ocr the childhood of my bliss! Fairy ringlets, feathering lightly On the tiny, infant brow, Up in Heaven are floating brightly, Greet! O greet my vision now ! O, my darling, how I loved thee— How to hear thy lisping voice, With its silvery, rippling laughter, Made my saddened heart rejoice! Gone are now those earthly pleasures Which you brought to ease my pain — Gone my best of earthly treasures, ,v Whilst I long for thee in vain. Baby playthings, lying round me, All recall my darling's ways, And eweet memories crowd before me Of those bright and happy days, When my sweet one lived terrestrial, Ch^erijpigdl with heavenly love : Now, Jn^p^^s'eelißStial. Look shoou +us from above. W. C. S. G. Thames, August, 1881.
