Oh fatal message, cruel message,
That brings sucn sadness, spreads such
gloom;
Ihat calls our hearts,from their festivities
To weep with friends around the tomb.
We hear the news with bated breath,
We read thy words in sad surprise,
For one We loved is called in death
And the tear drops linger in our eyes.
How bright thy smile. oh happy heart;
What hopes rose high within thy breast
Aboard TIE train yon homeward sped,
To partakc the annual Christmas feast
But. alas. too soon in life's young day,
Deaths angel came to claim his own
The route Is changed. loved ones weep
