IN AIEMORIAM.
One sorrowful six months has passed
Since we stood beside dear Johns bed
Till death stole upon him softly,
And we knew his soul had fled.
Just as the day was breaking,
The angels called him home,
Oh blame us not for weeping,
For we have no Johnnie now
Oh that voice we loved is still;
His place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Oh dear Johnnie, we miss him in our
home,
We miss his kind and willing hand.
Oh he was always happy;
And it just seems as If
We can always hear him singing
His favorite hymn,
There is Sunshine in my Soul. ,"
Oh it breaks our hearts to say,
That on Labor Day
We laid our darling one away,
One so young and fair,
So quickly called away.
The midnight stars are cleaning
Upon his silent grave,
Yet in our hearts we prayed
That he might longer stay.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
For we hope again to meet thee,
When the days of life are fed,
And in heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
