WALTER BYRON.
We shall never see Walter again;
His short, weary journey is o'er.
We shall look for his features in vain.
We shall see his eyes sparkle no more,
And his fair raven locks that would float on a breath,
We must look for them now on the pillow of death.
Ah! little thought I, as he passed
A few days ago through the door,
That his lesson that day was his last,
And I should behold him no more.
Oh, God! may it prove when the truth shall appear,
That he's holier and happier for lessons learned here.
And, oh! may the lottle ones think,
As they see him no more in his class,
That they too may be on the brink
Of the river all mortals must pass;
And here may they gather each bright little gem
That would deck the sweet garlands of Walter and them.
Dear boy! O How oft have I hoped
He would live and grow up to a man,
But the dark, dreary future has oped,
And shown that his life was a span,
But I'll think of that boy until memory dies,
With his bright silken locks, and his bright flashing eyes.LIRRIE.1,2
