| propriate to her case:
Death has entered and borne away
a loved one from our side,
Just in the morning of her day,
80 falr so young, she died.
We never more Shall see her face
Nor hear her voice again;
None 10 us can fill her place
Nor be as she has been.
Amid her young friends all around
We miss her coming feet,
And i'll the old accustomed place
There is a vacant seat.
Her memory will be dear to us
As long life shall last
And as we dwell on happy hours
In days that have gone past.
But we must dry each falling tear
And look where God doth reign,
For on that bright and shining shore
Our loved we'll meet again.
