Like sunrise flower, that wiihsrs at noonY

And tell Us why you left ns soon:
Bai never @, neveri will that voice be heard
inirying to utter baby word.
No sound from the graye-your babe tunes this lyr,
On high, with the bright, angelic choir
And the song he Is singing Is anthem Of love
The harp be IS striking sounds sweetly above
Fond parent. o eense- cease then 10 weep,
iour babe ls not dead--'is heavenly sleep;
Our Savior transplan,ed that loved one to bocu
Ina garden Ia hsay,r. beyond he dark tomb
