A CHILD'S WISH.
On her grave-stone tbese words were carved,
"Jfted Higher." '
When the sunlight fell with radiant glory
Over her little bed,
And the wind with gontle fingers, Dioved
The tresses on her head.
With fainter Toice the whispered, whilo
The angel wings drew nigher,
And lovintr ones Lad hushed their sobs
" " "OhFather, lift me higher."
Uut her dim sight looked yet further
Than our weeping eves could see,
Far beyond the land of sunsets,
Into Immortality.
She heeded not the crimson mist
That crownef- the hills with fire,
But only breathed, in gentle tones,
"Dear Father, lift me higher."
Yet while she epoko the color died
From out the evening sky,
And twilight, clad in ashy robes,
Passed slow and silent by ;
And Death had shut the door of Life,
Smitten the golden tyre,
And answered the sweet childish wish,
But to bo "lifted higher."
JFather, we thank Thee 1 for the child
Treads now the eternal hills
- ller footsteps falter not beside
The ever-flowing rills.
. Lifted above all grief and care,
From trials borne away,
She Las exchanged the twilight gloom
For never ending day.
