She had not any word to say
There was no one who stood by her;
For one misstep in life's young day,
When love had seemed 30 good to her,
She walked from all the world apart
And kept her grief locked In her heart
A comrade drear seemed Memory;
so all alone walked she.
But sang the blackbird in the brake.
1t seemed his song was made for her;
And all along the calm blue lake
The lilies pure were laid for her.
The honeysuckle in the dew
Around her door its fragrance threw,
The eve lamb by her side would lead,
And white doves there would feed
] dream the Christ of Galilee
who on the dread cross died for her,
When near to death her steps shall be,
The gate will open wide for her
That angel hands will draw her in.
And lock without the old-time sin,
And on her brow again will press,
Her lost youths happiness.
