None can know how much heart bleeding,
Death ia taking her hath wrought,

Comfort at her side had sought,
Eier cheerful loving, gentle,
None ere sought her yet for naught.

All else earthly seems but dress

Bat she has gone over, across,
May tAe Savior who can only
Heal the wounl' make up their loss
As we know she lives In heaven,
Very near the SavDr's side,
Nay we, trusting in this Jesus.
When We cross colt JOrlan's tide

Meet her on the other SIDE.
