the going out Of her life the light
of her parents home was darkened,
but as for the las! time she went to

No more pain, no more death. We

one waiting for you"
Sadly Strange is all around us,
Since our darling went TO sleep,
Never more on earth TO waken,
Never more to moan or weep.
In a little grave we laid her,
In her hands were sweet flowers,
Sweeter far than all around us,
Was that little girl Of ours.
Summer flowers now are blooming,
But We miss her just the same
As when first amid our weeping,
Breathed we low the cherished name.
Other hearts may cease to miss her,
Allher little charms forget,
But in heartS that loved her fOndly
Little Emma's living yet.
Better still, she lives in Heaven,
Freed from earthly sin and pain,
Aud, amid lis iadelcss beauty,
We may clasp our girl again.

the two now about completed and
