Text Appearing Before Image:
ovd features of an only sonParents recall id, though time had wrought a change.Wives sought their husbands, children sought their sires,Maidens their lovers. Grief alone was seenIn various shapes. Some wrung their hands,Some tore their hair, while some with frenzy ravd.Some could not weep. The sweetest mourner there,Beside a youthful corse poor Mary knelt.She pressd his clay-cold hand. Awhile her heart,In silent sorrow wrapt, knew no relief.The fount of grief at length dissolvd j the tearsCoursd down her cheeks. She lookd around amazd,To find that misery reignd in other heartsDesolate as her own. Now am I leftIn the wide world without one friend! she cried.A smiling cherub on her breast reposd—A lovely boy, too young to know his loss:Waking, he stretchd to her his little hand ;The smile of innocence illumd his face. Alone, said I ? No, no; while thou art left,Dear image of thy sire, to bless my sight,For thee Ill live. I am a mother still! vv. s. Printed by L. Harrison, 373, Strand.
