Motto" We all do fade as leaf"
Leaves, the greenest will decay,
And flowers, the brightest fade away,
When autumn winds are sweeping;
And be the household eer so fair,
The hand of death will soon be there,
And turn the scene 10 weeping
Yet leaves again will clothe the trees,
And lilies wave beneath the breeze,
When spring comes smiling hither;
And friends who parted at the tomb,
May yet renew their loveliest bloom,
And meet in heaven together.
