ter. who Is left to mourn:
I'VE shall know the loved who have
gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting
be,
When over the river-the peaceful
river
The Angel OF Death shall carry thee.
We saw not the angels who met her
there;
Der the gates Of the city the mists
still fall
Over the river-the peaceful river
Our sister stands waiting to welcome
us all.
Gone before us, oh, our sister, to the
spirit land,
vainly look We for another in thy
place to stand"
