OBITUARY LINES,
Respectfully dedicated to the friends OF Mrs.
Jessie Whitney. OF Tyler, Texas, by ".
She was taken in Der youth with the bloom upon
her cheek,
And the orange blossoms fresh upon her brow;
She has died your home with sunshine, when
the snow winds blew bleak
But she's gone TO swell the angel chorus now.
When ysu stood around her dying bed. your
eyes I'LL filed with tears
While the shadows deepened in your hearts
and hOme;
She, with cheerfulness and smiling, sought to
dissipate your fears.
AS she softly whispered. "weep not. you will
cOIne.'
But six brief weeks had passed, since, with
hearts SO gay and light,
You saw her as u happy, biusbing bride,
But now your day OF gladness settles down in
For your hearts are lonely since your Jessie
died.
There is gloom in every sunbeam, for it tells
you of your less,-
And the little birds have sadness. IN ti.eir tone;
While the flowers bloom in silence, never smiling
To cheer your home. SO sad and lone.
l know your hearts are aching with their load
of pain and grief
AS you hurnbly bow beneath the Christening
But time, you know. is ~ieeting and the day OF
life IS brief;-
Soon you'll join her in the presence of your
One more shining link is added to the golden
Which u Fathers hand is lowering from the
1t will TINT inierllnk with that Which has been forged
within your hearts,
And will lead you to II blissful home on high
Though your weight ofsorrow now may seem too
heavy to be borne,
And the thick ming mists and clouds obscure
the sun.
May Gods healing grace be granted to restore
your hearts all torn,
And strengthen you to say ''Thy will be
DONE"
For. though death, with frosty fingers, has
plucked your blooming rose.
And filled your hearts and home with silent
gloom;
In eternity's bright spring far beyond death's
chilling SHOWS,
In beauty rich and rare 1t will rs-bloom.
