At REST
Her prisoned spirit free at last
Her earth-worn body is at rest;
One whom to know was but to love
Bias entered in among the blesf.
We know she is not lonely there
With Christ, and with her children dear,
With husband, father. mother, friends,
Yet, oh we miss her sadly here.
Sod comfort those so far away
Who mourn r precious mothers loss:
Oh how she loved and prayed for them,
But knew they leaned upon His cross;
And they met no more on earth,
She knew they a meet in Heaven above,
And there in mansions bright and fair
Would dwell with her; for God is Love-
She loved this golden. sunset land,
But wished TO see her home again:
Yet. said to one. not long ago:
Heavens near me here as It's in Maine
So here with loving children lived.
And here she laid her amor down,
Put off the earth-worn aged form.
Put on the Heavenly starry crown.
