How brief the stay, as beautiful as heeting.
The time that baby came with to dwellI
Just long enough to give happy greeting,
Just long enough to bid US all farewell.
Death travels down the thielly-settled highway,
At shining marks they say he loves to aim;
How did he find far down our lonely byway,
Our little girl who died without name?
We do not know the fond endearment spoken
To which she listened when she fell asleep,
And so beside a column that broken,
We laid her to her slumber calm and deep.
We traced upon the stone with loving fingers
These simple words affections tear to claim:
I'm dreams beyond all earthly sorrow, fingers
Our little girl who died without name"
She sleeps serene where fragrant messy willows
In sweet and wordess tunes forever wave.
And summer seas in long and grassy pillows
Break into bloom around her lonely grave
In menlory's hall how many heroes slumber.
We trace their deeds upon the scroll of fame;
1 treasure far above this mighty number
Our little girl who died without name.

Most High, In autumn's ripe fulfllment-tme.
While Ninety-eight grows old peacefully,
From snow-clad northern hills to orange Cline
Across a continent from sea to sea,
people bow in gratitude to Thee.
Father, this waning year, Thy gift to us
Came rich in joy and in potential good.
Though oft we blindly failed to see, and thus.
Because Thy purpose was not understood,
Grasped not the golden moments as we should.
We thank Thee for the smiles and happiness
That Thou &dst grant and boons for which
we prayed
And now we see that sorrow cen may bless,
For suff'ring and enduring, unafraid,
Prove that we are in Thine own image made.
We thank Thee that no more the war-cloud
lowers,
And for tortured isles long-sought release;
We thank Thee. that to this dear land OF ours,
Along with Thy sweet, whlte-robed angel Peace,
Came unity of hearts that will not cease.
IT'S vain the half Thy gifts to try to tell!
Joy, griefs that purge, love, life, and liberty
All, all, Thy largess is, we know full well.
tender Father, look and
Thy people bowed in gratitude to Thee
