gathering around the family hearth-stone,
and the absence Of the missing one is most

We're not all here--a broken band
Now gathered round our hearth
A light is from our household gone,
And hushed are joy and mrth.
The voice we loved is silent now,
We see her vacant chair,
All dreary are our souls, and sad,
Our loved one is not here.
We're not all here--kind Heaven grant
Our little band Of love
Unbroken may be found at last
In that bright home above;
The broken chain-the severed links
Be oil united there
And gazing on our loved ones, cry
We all, we all are here.
