Acton. On Sunday the 9th instant, of consmption, Annie M. Acton, in the 23d year of her age.
Thou hast left us, dearest Annie,
And gloom her dismal mantel hangs;
Sad hearts bereaved alone can tell
The keenness of my pangs.

The gentle voice is hushed in death;
But, O! why should I weep?
Without a struggle, sigh, or groan,
You calmly fell asleep!

O Death! Thy desolating hand
Might lovely youth spare;
Why blight, beneath they withering power,
The young, the pure, the fair?

Hope, whispering, bids me cease to weep,
For we will meet again,
In that world beyond the skies,
Where all is free from pain!
