Lines to Fannie w. on Tht
Death OF Little Edna.


SIN the hush Of the morning
One brief moon ago.
We sat by little Edna
As she breathed sweet and low.
And the loved and the lost
From tile beautiful Shore,
Drew nearer and nearer,
AS loved ones bent DER,
And whispered "she sleeps"
We could not know then
Oni loved one, that to-day,
That thy spirit released
From its bondage of clay,
Would have passed from our sight,
So pure and eyer so low
We see her little form
Through our tears as they flow.
We know thou lidst love her
Love eyer embracing as thine
Which chung closer in sorrow
As clIngeth the vine.
so constant and tender,
So unselfish and pure,
Must live OH forever,
Forever endure.
AS the chords Of Tyre
When the song is all Ger
Still vibrates, though our fingers
MAY sweep them no more.
SO her sweet spirit fingers
AS we list to the strain,
Oh! sweeter than ever is mammals
refrain,
The morn breaks once more
Over hillside and lea,
But morn more blissful
Has davned upon thee,
In the city of GOD in the home OF the
blest,
Where the worn and the weary
Are forever at rest.
There little Edna sleeps
Her last sleep in the dell,
What was mortal of her
Thou knowest so well.
Let thy blessings be
More tender and low,
As you breathe your last farewell,
Through tears as they flow.
