Loved In Life. in Death Remembered.
In loving remembrance of Leonora Cudd.
White, who departed this life April 3, 1893.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with him who gave,
Another darling little one
Is sheltered in the grave.
Darling LeonOra you have left us;
Left us, yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet dear LeOnora
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours,
Since dear little LeOnora has gone
But oh Il brighter home than ours,
In heaven, is now her own.
Lips we pressed with fondest kisses,
Eyes we praised for purest ray,
Underneath the churchyard daisies,
We have laid them all away.
Yet we know how safe forever
In that better fold above,
The dear one for which we sorrow
Resteth now in Jesus love.
