ON LEAVING ST JOHN'S CHURCH.
A pensive silence reigns, an awful gloom
Appears to hover o'er each drooping head;
Is this a shadow of our final doom,
When the last record shall by Him be read?

It may be so; O let us now prepare,
And heed the impressive warning given,
That we at last the righteous crown may wear,
And live forever with the blest in heaven.
