"The lovely form, now icy cold
Was formed in beauty's fairest mould.
But ah, prepared by love divine,
A fairer, brighter form in thine.

Go, gentle babe, to realms of bliss,
The chastening rod we humbly kiss;
Thy Savior calls, come home my son,
Then let his holy will be done.

Thy earthly parents loved thee well,
So much that language fails to tell;
But ah, their love was weak and poor,
Thy heavenly parent loved thee more
"
R.W.

Died, at Bolton, New York, April 25th, Mr. Pling C. Boyd, aged 64.
