In Memoriam

Title:     In Memoriam
Author: James McIntyre [More Titles by McIntyre]

Lines on the death of my only son, who died on the
5th of July, 1876, on the anniversary of his mother's death.

His mother from celestial bower,
In the self-same day and hour
Of her death or heavenly birth,
Gazed again upon the earth,
And saw her gentle, loving boy,
Once source of fond maternal joy,
In anguish on a couch of pain.
She knew that earthly hopes were vain,
And beckoned him to realms above
To share with her the heavenly love.

[The end]
James McIntyre's poem: In Memoriam
