WHEN.

WHEN.
BY REV. A. ]. RYAN.
Some day in spring,
When earth is bright and glad,
When wild birds sang,
And fewest hearts are sad,
Shall die then?
Ah, me no matter when
know it will be sweet
To leave the home of men
To rest beneath the sod
To kneel and kiss Thy feet,
In Thy Home-oh my God!
Some summer morn?
When all the winds sing songs,
When roses hide each thorn,
And smiles-the spirits wrongs?
Shall die then?
All, me ! no matter when!
know l will rejoice
To leave the homes of men
To rest beneath the sod
To hear Thy tender voice
In Thy home-oh my God
Some autumn eve?
When shadows dim the sky
When all things grieve
And fairest things all die? 2.
Shall die then?
All, me ! no matter when!
| know l will be glad
To leave the homes of men
To sleep beneath the sod
No heart can e'er be sad
In Thy Home-oh, my God!
Some wintry day?
When all the sky is gloom,
And beauteous May
Sleeps in December's tomb?
Shall die then?
All, me! ! no matter when!
My heart shall throb with Joy
To leave the homes of men
To rest beneath the sod
All, joy has no alloy
In Thy Home-oh my God!
All, me 4 l tell
The Rosary of my years;
And it is well
The Beads are strung with tears!
Haste, Death, and come
pine-I pray for Home!
know it will be sweet M.
To rest beneath the sod
To kneel and kiss Thy feet
. In Thy Home-oh my God
