Tie week has gone. and with i! fed, the spirit
CT the angel dead;
But memory's faithful brand portrays her
smiles, her tears, her loving ways.
Moving no more on EARTH she treads The floors
where Heaven its radiance sheds,
Though minging not with loved ones here, we
feel her spirit lowering near.
On earth light, 10 Heaven star, her voice
seems waited from aiar,
When twilight comes, and night descends, her
image with our musing blends;
Though lost to US, she reigns above, blessed in
our Heavenly Fathers love
So let US live that we may meet our lost one at
that Saviour's feet.

Trip lightly over wrong,

By dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woes hand so tightly?
Why sigh DER blossoms dead?
Why cling to forms unsightly?
Why not seek Joy instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though all the day be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow,
Ang gaily sing the lark.
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fled:
Then never be down-hearted,
But look for Joy instead.
