Tiny windows of the soul
Little Beulah's gone to sleep.
There's another bud removed
Ere it fell the bite of sin,
Through the door the angels made
Darling Beulah has passed in,
Far beyond the azure skies,
Where the tiny star eyes peep
From all earth's sad doubts and fear
Little Beulah's gone to sleep,
The dainty garments wrought wit
care,
Through happy hours for loves SAX
are laid away for one more fair,
Than mothers hands can make;
How could we bear this heavy cross
The loneliness, the cruel pain,
Did we not know our earthly loss
Is her eternal gain,
She will wake in faircr lands
Where the angels voices sing,
There the ilowerlots shall expand
There shall loves perfection bring
She has reached the golden shore
Through the river cold aud deep
Angels baro her safely there,
Little Beulah's gone TO sleep,
