IN MEMBRANE

In remembrance of my beloved wife, ROSIE E
ZENTGRAF, who departed this life August 81, 1901
For the dark and silent tomb
Closed her eyes in sleeping slumber,
Faded i'll her early bloom.
We miss her. Oh how sad was the parting,
But there is thought we love well.
When our life from this earth departed,
We can go home with my wife to dwell
We miss her at the morning tide.
The glorious hour of prime;
We miss her more when the day has died,
At the blessed evening tide.
We miss you from our home dear,
We miss you from your place,
shadow DER our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of your face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without you,
We miss you everywhere. BY HER HUSBAND.
