Lines composed by the Rev. Timothy Alden, on the death of
Mr. James Sears' wife and two infant children :
The Sovereign Power that reigns above,
Recalls these pledges of his love
The mother with the tender babes,
Ee tires from light to death's cold shades.
The infants free from human harm,
There sleep as on the mother's arms.
Thus to fulfil the sentence just,
The mortal part returns to dust;
Together lay the small and great,
While lasts the intermediate state.
But at the resurrection day
The soul reanimates the clay.
Made then immortal friends in heart
To Christ united ne'er shall part
The sure approach of that great day,
May drive all gloomy thoughts away.
And free the mind from sorrows past,
With joys that shall forever last.
God's judgments now as dark as night,
Will then uplet as noonday light,
Displaying wisdom Infinite,
Why bosom friends must part so soon,
The offspring cease in early bloom.
Though this is far from present choice.
Is all for good in wisdom's voice,
That wisdom reigns, let all rejoice.
When late retired to take my rest,
I viewed your care as one distressed.
These thoughts arose within my breast,
If they a drooping heart can cheer,
Accept them from a friend sincere.
