ABOVE HER GRAVE.

Above her grave the roses wave,
The sunlight warmly flashes
She's home again with Him who gave
Her peace and human ashes.
She rests from toll beneath the soil,
Away from earthly weeping,
No more TO fret where wrongs beset;
Eternal silence keeping!
The sun and moon and stars shall shine
Along the crowding ages,
And life and death shall intertwine
The leaves Of human pages.
But lost TO me Ger land and sea
Her charming voice forever;
Her golden hair and face so fair
Across the lethean river.
