He's gone! and we have said FAREWELL"
These tears that from mine eyelidS steal,
And wther on my cheeks, can tell
Alone how sad, indeed, feel.
He held my hand within his own
Ny sad heart nearly broke with pain:
/ knew that life had almost flown
Ed never see his face again.
Since now he is no more of life,
The lamps gone out that burned SO dim.
God bless his true and faithful wife,
| For she was all the world to him.
Look on his loved ones i'll their grief,
And free their SorrOWed hearts from pain.
Teach them to have the sweet belief
Their loss is but their fathers gain.
