LINES COMPOSED ON THE DEATH OF AMY ROGERS
By Her Mother, M.A. Rogers

Come, all my friends and neighbors dear,
The death of Amy Rogers hear,
Almighty God, inspire my heart
That I may act the poet's part.

Through pain and sorrow she did wade,
Which caused her gradually to fade;
At length the solemn day commenced
When Amy Rogers must go hence.

On June the eighth, as noon drew near,
The happy spirit did appear
To waft her soul to God on high,
To dwell with him eternally.

And then her spirit quickly fled,
And her body rests among the dead;
Her happy soul in realms of love,
To live with God in heaven above.

Oh, who can tell how our hearts did swell
When Amy bid us all farewell,
And left a sorrowful world behind,
With all her friends both dear and kind!

Now she has gone to heaven above,
To sail in free unbounded love;
The golden street she now explores,
Where parting scenes are known no more.

No more to bid her friends farewell,
But with the saints in heaven to dwell;
The wonders of redeeming love
That took her soul to heaven above.

Oh, loving friends, now do not mourn,
Though she is from your bosom torn;
Her ransomed spirit is set free
To join the white-robed company.

Admiring angels view the sight --
That lovely form in raiment white;
With golden palms upon her hands,
Safe in that fair celestial land.

Oh, sinners, hear her warning voice
And make religion now your choice;
She speaks to you though she is dead --
Prepare in time to meet your God.
