All Is Well.
TO the Memory of Mrs. Dale

ITO the Memory of Mrs. Dale Bowman.)
All, can it be, we ne'er shall see
Her face so like the flowers,
When here we meet, no more shall greet
That sister dear of ours?
How oft we've heard, SO like bird
Her voice in gladstone song,
How warm her heart, how quick to start
The means to right wrong.
Upon our walls, her landmark falls
With brush so deftly wrought,
Love tokens small, yet priced by all,
With kindest wishes fraught.
Assembled here, good will, good cheer
We linger DER many scene,
Her smiling face, her christian grace
Will keep her memory green.
The fair girl-wife, that filled the life,
OF husband now bereft,
Our eyes grow dim, we mourn with him
Her God to him is left.
The flower is crushed, the sweet voice
hushed,
Her feet have crossed the vale,
A spirits breath whispers "There is no
death"
That cali is well" with Dale.
