WRITTEN IN MEMORY OF LITTLE BRAD-
LEY CARR, WHO DIED MAY II, 1892.
FaireSt bud in all the household,
In Gods garden called to bloom,
And with grief your hearts are 'burdened
With deaths shadow and its gloom.
Why it is, no one can answer,
Only God who gives them rest
Why he comes and takes unto him
Those we love the most and best.
So it is, and will be ever,
Tears are falling everywhere,
And wherever in we enter,
We shall find some vacant chair.
Friends and playmates gather round YOU.
OF their love they gave their best
And they rObed your hearts sweet treasures
For his long and dreamless rest.
Springtime blooms they brought to deck him.
Flowers in tiny hand he borne
He who in life'S sunny dawning,
Passed deaths dark mysterious door.
Friends look up, no cloud so blackened,
But silvery side has bore.
There was never night so darkened,
But has had shining dawn.
Words know seem fral and empty
70 relieve such grief and pain,
But these few gladly give you,
You shall see your boy again.
Once again your arms shall clasp him
10 your bos0m'S resting place,
You shall see the closed lids open,
You shall kiss the dimpled face.
For you know the blessed Saviour,
By he waves of Gallilee,
SAID with heart brim full with loving,
LET the children come to me-"
Yes, in Gods bright upper kingdom,
Are ,life's gardens fair to see,
Where earth'S buds shall live and blossom
Through a glad eternity NEMAYo.
One who loved him.
