ON MRS. POPKINS.
A Christian here her glorious journey ends,Caught from her earthly to her heavenly friends;
437
Her prayers accepted, and her pardon seal'd,
The spotless soul, a native of the sky,
Has paid her visit, and return'd on high.
Mourner, to heaven thy earnest wishes breathe,
And live her life, that thou may'st die her death;
Silent and sad pass through this weeping vale,
With arms Divine the glorious throne assail;
Assured the crown of life shall then be given,
And God shall wipe away thy tears in heaven.
