IN MEMORIAM .
THE following verses , on the death of Bro . James Dodds , of Scarborough , chief officer of the steamshi p Hindoo , of Hull , who was drowned in the Atlantic Ocean , February 17 th , 1880 , aged twenty-nine years , are from the pen of Mrs . G . M . Tweddell , wife of our literary Brother , George Markham Tweddell . " The only son of his mother , ancl she was a widow . "—St . Luke vii ., 12 .
Mourn for him ! oh , mourn for him ! A widow ' s only son ; Who was swept away by the raging sea Ere half his race was run .
So young to die ! and so beloved By those who knew him best : His manly form lies in the deep , No flowers bedeck his breast . Where duty call'd , he foremost stood , To try their ship to save :
'Twere better far to perish thus Than fill a coward ' s grave . Who can depict the widow ' s grief For him , her darling boy ? He who so well her love deserved—Her pride , her hope , her joy .
Gone from this earth—for ever gone ! But , on a brighter shore , We trust that they will meet again , Where parting is no more . May holy calm succeed her grief For her beloved son !
May God enable her to say , — Thy will , not mine , be done ! Mourn for him ! oh , mourn for him ! A widow ' s only son ; Who was swept away by the raging sea Ere half his race was run . Rose Cottage , Stokesley , Yorkshire .
