Under the cedars, quietly resting,
After the day Is done.
In sight OF the ripping river.
In the light OF the setting sun.
Dear hearts are breaking for them,
And hopes are buried there,
And there is love and longing,
And many fierce despair.
And grief lies buried with them.
And many silent tear
But naught can e'er disturb them
Those dear ones resting there.
Under the cedars, quietly resting.
After the day IS done,
In the sight OF the ripping river.
In the light Of the setting sun.
The winter storms sweep DER them.
And summer softened glow;
The moonlight and the sunlight;
The wind, and rain. and snow.
And life and strife surround them,
And gladness and dismay,
And all lies pains and pleasures
That make our little day.
And children play around them,
And restless feet pass by
But naught can e'er disturb them
As they sleep there quietly.
Under the cedars with folded han's,
After the day Is done.
In the sight OF the ripping river,
In the light of the setting sun.
And since those hands are folded,
Let ours work for them,
And beautify their restinS-place
With every flowery gem.
But let our fittest monument
Be the lives we lead to-day
A pure and sweet memorial
To the loved ones passed sway.
Under the cedars with folded hands.
After the day Is done.
In the sight OF the ripping river.
In the light Of the setting sun
