"So let us all together go!"
—The thoughtful boy replied:—
"Ah, no! we cannot go to heaven,
Until that we have died.

"And sister, we must be content
Upon this earth to stay,
Till the blessed Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Shall call our souls away!"

And the mother, and her two sweet babes,
Were, all of them, in heaven.
