There is time when souls are brought
BY sacred links most near,
And each returning day is fraught
With memories sad and drear
It's when we view the vacant seat
Of one we loved now gone,
And ponder DER the converse sweet
That marked onr cherished one.
The world never dimmed a soul
So pure, so free from earth's alloy,
Blended with firmness to endure
A child like love and Joy.
All, all around do we behold
Parental power and love,
The Shepherd crowned his precious fold
With blessings from above.
Transplanted them by His decree
To blessed home above,
We will strive for grace 10 feel and see
The blow was sent for love.
Gently, gently blow We breeze
Der the grave where Katie Lies;
lis for her husband children weeping,
lis for her husband children signs
Past her suffering, past her pain.
Cease TO weep, for tears are vain.
Calm the tumult of your breast,
For darling Kate is at rest.
