In thy beauty and thy freshness
Death hath led thee BY the hand,

To the distant, silent "iand." p
Lest the sky, which now above thee
Seemeth ever pure and bright
Should be shsd0w'6 by earth's sorrow,
Should be darkened BY its nj ght,
He hath called thee from lfe's garden,
Where the flowers toe soon must die;
He hath borne thee from its wayside,
Where unseen the thorn may be,
Ere the dew of youth had faded
From thy cheek so fresh and fair;
Ere thy marble brow was furrowed
BY the heavy lines of care,
Angel fingers beckoned to thse,
Angel voices whispered, Come.
Angels bore thy spirit onward,
To brighter, happier hsne.
Friends and dear ones kaeeling BY thee,
Know the sunshine that hath gone,
Feel the void deaths hand hath left them,
Miss the music that hath flown;
Yet they know thy life was holy,
That thy faith in God was strong,
And they would not call thee earthwsrd,
Though the waiting may be long
Till beyond the silent river,
On the silvery, stranded shore,
They will meet the absent loved one,
Ali their grief and parting DER.
