The following verses were read at
the service:
1T singeth low in every heart,
We hear it each and all-
A song of those who answer not
However we may call;
They throng the silence of the breast,
We see them as of ORE
The kind, the brave, the true the sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
IT'S hard to take the burden up,
When these have laid it down;
They frightened all the joy of life,
They softened every frown;
But oh, tits good to think of them,
When We are troubled sore
Thanks be to God that such have been,
Although they are no more.
More home-lke seems the vast unknown,
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not SO hard,
Wherever they may fare;
They cannot be where God is not
On any sea or Shore
Whate'er betides, thy love abides,
Our God, forevermore," HDs.
