In sorrow weeping.
Years passed. saw mother with her child,
And o'er it anguish;
Years bro't me back--yet through her tears
she smiled,
In deeper anguish.
left her--years had vanished; returned,
And stood before her;
A lamp beside the childless widow burned
Grief's mantle DER her.
In tears found her whom left in tears,
On God relying; u
And returned again in after years,
And found her dying.
An infant irst and then a maiden fair
"A wife--a mother
And then childless widow in despair
Thus met brother.
And thus We meet on earth--and thus we part
To mcet--oh, never
Till death btholds the spirit leave ths heart,
To live forever.
