NO more that beaming smile
That loved ones form, it mouIders now
Far from weeping child.
Though long we mourn, yet still our hearts
Melt, melt In loving tears;
Inc husband father, friend, has gone
Death In our hearts appears.
Could love but call one moment back
Of llfs's fast-heetIng breath,
Or warm the clay which moulders now
In his CO arms of death,

And wake the life again
Recall my father from the grave;
But no the wish Is vain.

The soft gales wait them DER,

No more their spi- its wander back,
No more IN sorrow roam
But upward, upward wing their fight
"dwell with Christ and home.
They're vain, the tears of sorrow now,
And VAIN the drep-drawn sigh
He dwells with God bright angels now

Where tears no more sha silent fall,
Nor streams OF sorrow pour,

Are felt and f-ared no more.
