From whence the voice of glad young life has flown,
Where JOY reigned, sits silence cold gray,
The children have dear homes of their own.
That this might come to day knew,
For always, ere the frost had kissed the flowers.
The full fedged brdlings from the home few;
But, ali, the autumn seemed far from ours
And not for the hope the fond birds share,
That brings them Fastening hill and plain
To build and with tend'rest
For may build again.
But would keep dear ones, though might?
Nay mother hearts, not self love do know;
When they their strong wings in fight
We hide our tears and smiling, bid them go.
Some day, perhaps when little fingers Irvine
In clingng trustfuness about own,
And eyes strangely like yours and mine
Look with loving chances have known,
With Joy We'll clasp the precious thing and say
This is reward for all our loss and pain;
This is Gods plan that hapy thus may,
Through childrens children, build and again.
