LINES
on the
Death of Mr. David Lind
Builder, Edinburgh
Who Died
2d February 1856.

He is sleeping, gently sleeping,
where the willows sadly wave;
Where the stars their watch are keeping--
and the wild flowers nightly weeping
Dewy tears upon his grave.

He is happier, far, far happier,
Than in this world of care like ours;
For his soul grew sad and weary
Of a world so dark and dreary--
Long'd he for the Heavenly bowers.

Then Christ called him, gently called him;
Gladly did his spirit soar;
Leaving all the ties that bound him--
Leaving weeping friends behind him,
For an ever happy shore.

But we miss him, sadly miss him,
For his home seems lone and drear;
Now his step is hushed for ever,
And his voice will never, never
Break upon our list'ning ear.

But he's happy, ah! how happy!
For he dwells with angels now:
May we learn to say with pleasure,
Tho' from us Thou'st ta'en our treasure,
Father! to Thy will we bow.
