lin memory of Allan Joseph Vadnais.]
Gone, o gone, is our loved Allan,
Death has touched him with his sting;
Cruel Death, the foe of nature
Cannot bring our darling back.
Mothers heart is wrung with anguish,
Fathers tears for thee are shed,
Whilst thou's sleeping, softly sleeping,
In thy lone and narrow bed.
Opening flower of youths fair spring,
time,
Plucked by Deaths cold. icy hand,
Thou wilt be a Joy forever
In a brighter, fairer land.
Though much we miss thee, we'd n'el
call thee
Back to this cold world OF woe,
for thy robes are pure and spotless,
Whittier than the driven snow.
Jesus breaks the bands asunder,
Frees the form from mortal clay:
In the resurrection morning
He will rise to endless day.
