LINES OF THE DEATH OF JULIA WINTERS.
The Angels came for Julia
Between twelve and one at night
The wind was blowing softly,
The moon shone pretty and bright.
While watching by her bedside.
Her faded form once so fair
Seemed resting there so calmly,
felt the Angels were there
heard gentle ilutterng,
A soft light swept through the room;
My heart was full Of emotion,
knew thu Angels had come.
That night was pleasantly spent.
Although watched her with care;
Ny mind was truly content
The Angels were with us there
She has gone from Us forever,
She has left this world Of care;
Her homes beyond the river
The Angels carried her there.
fain would watch by the bed
Ofall who suffer with pain
And watch until life has He'd
1.-THE Angels would come again.
