Yes, tears may dim the eye,
When sorrow sways controls;
Nor yet one murmuring sigh
Escape the stricken soul;

Fond memories |
Are busy in each heart,
Recalling each dear scene
Ia which The lost bore pat;
That eye Of love, the smile, the kiss.
That voice, that lovely face we miss.
All yes round board aud hearth
vacant place We hnd
Aud one tie less earth
Your spirits here TO bind
But then how sweet the thought here given,
Another harp Is strung Is Heaven.
All that the fundest love
Was wrcathing for that brow,
In the spirit land above,
Is cOnsummated now;
What for your loved one could We crave
More than Heaven writes upon her grave
Then though We weep rejoice
Though thus beIef hope on,
And seek those higher joys,
That now your Julia crowns
Sweet voices you to the skies,
No more to NOUN earth's broken ties.
