Friend whom may see no more;
But, beneath thy words OF sladness,
Echoing low. weird notes Of sadness,
Thrill ,ny heart strings. Eleno1e,
Faint rs swept by baby fingers
Lost to Earth forever mere.
And muse while round me wildly

And of bitter grief and signing
In the home of Eicnore-
For the brief life merged in glory,
Won to Heaven forever more
So ecnd thee kindly greeting,
Whispering, ''Whcn life is DER,

With no undcrtoue OF sadness,
Wait to welcome Elenore,
Where thy bud in beauty blossoms.
