Lines in memory of our mother,
Susan Playle, who departed this life
January IA, 1908, age 20 years, 4
months and % days:
Farewell, farewell, sweet mother,
Our hopeful dream is DER;
In vain we tried to grasp thee,
From the shadow of DEATHS door.
Thou vert weary and worn with pain,
And loved ones beckoned thee home;
Thou vert ready to pass through the
portals
And Jesus bade thee come.
Thy spirit rose on wings of joy,
While in sorrow we sank in the gloom
The light of our lives was going out
Mover more to brighten our homes.
But to shine again in its radience fair
In the holy city of love;
Where angels smiled while we wept
in despair,
And welcomed our darling home.
In the long sad months, or years that
may follow,
We will list forthy coming, the sound
of thy voice;
We will yearn for one look from the
soft brown eyes,
And sigh for the presence that made
us rejoice.
Sweet visions will bring back again,
From childhood days to that parting
scene,
Years of sacred mother love.
Wen live again in memory's dream.
Thou will come no more, but we may
go to.thee,
Were the tender words that were
spoken;
And we looked afar through binding
tears,
To that land where hearts are not
broken.
Where reigns the love light that
shown on thy face,
Bespeaking the Joy thou hast gained
We may see thee, and know thee
there sweet mother,
Thou art glorifed, but not changed
I
We laid thee to rest by the side Of
another
So dear to US and to thee,
In JOY or in sorrow, thou didsi
journey together,
O'er life's surging sea,
And now in death, side by side thor
wilt rest,
Father and mother, precious treasures
OF earth;
Reunited at last, thy spirits are bies
In the joys of immortal birth.
And all that is left to comfort US here
Is the hope that again we may meet
Fond remembrance of by-gone days
And two precious graves to keep.
We will try to bear the anguish
darling,
That words can never tell,
We are crushed with grief, our live
! are blighted
Angel mother, farew ell-farewell.
! Iona HrSson.
