anu IN the language of the Poet would say:
Weep not for her, but for those who are left,
VI true hearted wife and fond mother be-
reft.
For the sisters sad, and the brothers lone.
Ana The parent who mourns for daughter
gone.
In her dreamless sleep let us leave her now.
Well OF return DER her dust To bow:
We will look and long for the happier time,
"hen We'll meet again in that fairer cline
In that fairer cline by the crystal sea,
here the River of Life flows calm and free;
FROM the shadow Of death, that can never
come
To darken the sight Of our beautiful home"
