ON THE DEATH OF A CHILD by JOHANN LUDWIG UHLAND

First Line: YOU CAME, YOU WENT, AS ANGELS GO
Last Line: FORTH FROM GOD'S HAND INTO GOD'S HAND.
Subject(s): DEATH - CHILDREN; DEATH - BABIES;
You came, you went, as angels go,
A fleeting guest within our land.
Whence and where to?—We only know:
Forth from God's hand into God's hand.
