Though on thy pallid brows no kiss was pressed, Nor loving hands thy sea-tossed locks caressed; Though hid from wight tho cruel and murderous stroko That—all too soon—thy tender life span broke— He saw theo pass. In JI is great causo thy infant lives woro given, For that same cause our hearts to-day aro riven. High waved the saint-crossed ensign from the raafit, As to His throne thy gentlo spirits, passed To meet Him there. Safe in those arms that oneo in far Judea Encircled such as thee, thou need not fear. Ho is the Judge, but when He hears thy suit One glance from Him will strike thy murderers mute. Ho will repay.
