Poems of Home and Country/Sallie

by Samuel Francis Smith

SALLIE.

THUS comes another; may she stand
Among the saints in light,
Blest Saviour, at thy own right hand,
And walk with thee in white.

And should her pilgrimage be long,
And sharp affliction's rod,
Or short her pathway to the skies,
Oh, may it end in God!
