Where the trees their branches wave,
Lies our beloved Raymond,
In his cold and silent grave.

Through mist Of pain and tears,
But God has opened them above
To smiles through endless years.
Mourn not for him. oh! lonely hearts,
But for yourselves be sad.

To him all things are glad.

And could you live again.
Our aching hearts would then be healed,
But this-we wish in vain.

Light suits Of clothes are not favored
in factories where work Is done ON

a dark suit OF clothes Is absolutely re-

is that any stray grains Of gOld that
