With my heart all crushed and broken

Everywhere / go is so lonely and drear.
How do miss thee, my darling one;
Since thou hast left me, home is not a
home.
II is so sad and lonely here
Since you have left me in despair.
Tired so soon of lifes great turmoil and
strife
Not quite two years was our brief we'd
ded life.
But know thou art safe at home
And are waiting for me TO come.

few years
And then will be with thee, where there
are no tears;
SO will not murmur, since / know tits

That has caused me to pass meath the
Christening rod.
But hope to meet thee on that shining
shore
Where pain and parting will be no more.
There we will be forever blest,
There with Jesus We'll sweetly rest.
