If you in years hereafter,
 When mother's gone to rest,
Should feel the dart so poignant
 You thrust in mother's breast,—

Go, then, and bow to Jesus;
 He will your heart relieve;
And if you'll only trust Him,
 Your soul He will receive.

BEAUTIFUL SUNLIGHT.

Beautiful sunlight,
 Thou hast gone to appear
With thy Father in heaven,
 Where all is now clear.
We on earth weeping,
 And longing for rest;
Yours is secured
 In heaven, we trust.

Beautiful sunlight,
 We lov'd you while here.
Too lovely for earth,
 God wanted you near;
