Little Lois was our darling.
Pride of all our hearts at home;
But an angel came and whispered,
Little Lois do come home
Her little chair is empty.
Her playthings laid aside,
And loving hearts are weepin.
For our dear pet that died.
We listen for her footsteps
So often we have heard,
And for her voice of music
Like the MARBLE of a bird
Home is sad, o God, how dreary!
Lonesome, lonesome every spot,
Listening for ner voice till weary.
Weary for we hear IT not.
But we hope again to meet her
She has but before us gone:
She is safe across the river.
Hoping for us both to come,
By HER PARENTS :
Lois, thou vast a beautiful child
Who in the past with us did dwell;
Thy countenance was so very mild.
So mild no one can tell
Close her little waxen fingers
