Another call Is given
And glows with angel steps
| The path that reaches heaven.
As pure and sweet, her mir brow seemed
Eternal rs the sky,
And like the brooks low song her voice.
sound which could not die
And half deemed she needed not
The changing of her sphere,
| To give to Heaven a shining one,
Who walked an angel here.
"The blessing OF her qnlet life
Fell on us like the dew;
=, And good thoughts, where her footsteps pressed,
LIKE fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings unto kndest deeds
We're in her very look
We real her face, as one who reads
true and holy book
"There seems n shadow on the day.
Her smile no lonre cheers,
dlmness on the stars at night
Like eyes that look through tears.
Fold her, o Father In thine arms
And let her hcnccforth he
messenger Of love between
Our human hearts and thee
And grant that she who, trembling, hero
Distrusted all her powers
Nav welcome to her boiler home
The well-belOved Of ours"
