Hush The house Is silent,
 Time has done its awful work, Death has entered, 1t is darkened, Wanting music, wanting mirth. You hear how soldiers die in battle, How the great leave for on Htgh. But here was pure and simple maiden, Who never was afraid to die. She suffered more than any human, Yet, no complaint was ever heard, It grieved her to see sad faces, This was the trouble she gave the world. Shed no tear for it would pain her, Be as pleasant as you can, Called by G d. she was destined For higher life than man. Dim Is the eye that sparkled,
 Pale is the cheek that was bright, Stopped Is the step that was graceful, Death has caused this dismal sight. Her voice is still, its ring was silver, Her hands are cold, their touch was tender, Her heart is dead. its life was pure, But all these treasures we'll remember. gro know her was to love her. is old, "To see her was to admire" Is true, To follow her would be pleasure. To miss her will ever be new. Playful in the midst of children, Seniors found her their delight, Kind, humble, generous to fault, Always steel when in the right. In the bud of life He took her,
 To Himself for better care, She will prosper, she will blossom, In the balm of heavenly air, Strew flowers on her grave, they re emblems, Let her mound be known by green sod, 1t tells us of youth, of a virgin,
 Cheerful on earth and happy with God. Ever when her name is mentioned, Souls will make her virtues known, This will teach the children she taught, This will be her seed unsown.
