POEMS.
9
Transplanted above,
One more shining light,
Making heaven, if possible,
More beautifully bright.

Beautiful sunlight,
God oped your seal'd eyes,
That you might see clearly
Beyond the bright skies.
The shadow of God
A mantle o'erthrew,
Then the beauties of heaven
Were reveal'd unto you.

Beautiful sunlight,
Asleep in your God,
Your glorified spirit,
Where angels have trod.
Farewell, our dear sunlight,
Shining above,
In the light of our Father's
Most heavenly love.
