Epitaph

TO THE MEMORY OF FOUR INFANTS.

Parents, forbear for us to wail and weep!
We in the arms of Jesus fell asleep,
While you in tears mourn'd o'er the loss;
For, 'mid the throng of saints and angels bright,
We swell that song, with ever new delight—
The glorious, matchless triumph of the cross!
