THE

HOPE OF THE BEREAVED;

OR,

Recognition in Heaven.

BY THE

REV. EDWIN DAVIES.

"Hast thou not glimpses, in the twilight hour,
Of mountains where immortal morn prevails?
Comes there not through the silence to thine ear,
A gentle rustling of the morning gale,-
A murmur, wafted from that glorious shore,
Of streams that water banks for ever fair,
And voices of the lov'd ones gone before,
More musical in that celestial air ?"
