LOSS.
[BY SALtIE JOY WHITE.]
Oh! steadfast eyes thatiooked in mine With such a tender, loving light, My own with sorrowing tears are dim Sinco thou art closed in endless night. Oh! rare sweet lips, that smiled on me As lips will never smile again, Thinking of thee, now hashed for aye, Mine own grow white with sudden pain. Oh! strong true hands that held mine own So soft in such a loving clasp, My hands hang weary at my side, Unnerved without thy strengthening grasp. Unwearying feet! that never tired, As up the Bhining heights they trod, Mine falter as they walk alone, Tie_patiiLthat leads to thee and Cfod. Oh ! brave pure heart that held for me A love unchanged through good or ill, My heart is breaking with its weight Of grief, since thou'rt forever still.
