They say the cheery heart is dead; The bud has withered as a Hower, Nor lingers to the lonely hour, But would avoid the darkness dread. O'er his frail body vaults the blueLighted and blackened by day an d night. The slow winged hours take their Hight, But God and He arc ever true. We knew his heart-he loved us all; llis soul was full of heavenly love. Tho young, he held his way above The pits, where older ~!:ps oft fall. He learned the Master's lo1·e all fair, And led the way for older feet Through cheery ways, and smiling sweet He leads-we strive to follow there.
