Over the head of the other one.
Hold me close as you sagely stand,
Watching the dying embers shine;
Then shall l feel another hand
That nestled once in this hand of mine:
Poor little hand, SO cold and still,
Shut from the light of stars and sun,
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face of the sleeping one.
Laugh, little maid, while laugh you may,
Sorrow comes to us all, / know;
Better perhaps for her to stay
Under the drifting robe of snow.

Sing till your baby days are done;
But oh, the ache of the heart thai longs
