IN Memory Of My Dear Hus-
band, Willie D. shull.

We miss thee from our home Dear
Willie,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss the everywhere.
IT'S hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words,
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still;
And on thy precious brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy
breast,
have kissed thy lovely brow;
And in my aching heart I know
I have no darling now.
Through all pain my Willie would
Smile smile of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called him home,
He bid US all farewell.
Heaven retaineth now my treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where my darling Willie sleeps.
Precious darling, he has left us
Left US yes forevermore; .
But we hope to meet him =.
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since my dear Willie is gone, ~
But oh! brighter home than hours,
In heaven is now his own.
Farewell dear, but not forever,
There will be'a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part-no never
On the resurrection morn.
Though thy darling form lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb, ..
Thou shalt have a glorious waking,
When the blessed lord doth come.
Written by His Devoted Wife.
