In Loving Memory of Mrs. j.
S. Herin.


IF we knew when friends around US,
Closely press to say goodbye,
Which among the lips that kissed US,
First would meath the daisies lie.
We would clasp our arms around them,
Looking on them thro' our tears,
Tender words of love eternal,
We would whisper in their ears.
We did not not know July the
slst, 1918, as friends and relatives
gathered at our home to witness the
marriage Of our darling Fannie
May, that three of those present
would be lying meath the daisies
to-day, October "a, 1914.
Three precious ones: from us have gone,
Three voices we loved are stilled,
Three places are vacant in our hearts,
Which never can be filled.
How we'll I remember early that
morning when grandfather came
up home and said II hate to see
Fannie May leave u.s." then he sat
down and wept, but we did not
know that in less than three months
we would be weeping around his open
grave. And as we beheld the
bride that evening, 30 lovely and
sweet in her wedding gown. car
rying q large bouquet of bridal
roses, we did not know that in
about one year we would see her
lifeless form dressed in the same
attire, and those same fingers, tho
cold and stiff, holding beautiful
bouquet.
Our Father, in His wisdom, call.
ed the boon this love had given,
and though on earth her body lies.
her soul is safe in heaven. Oh, Sis
ter, thy gentle voice is hushed, thy
warm, true heart is still, and on thy
pale and peaceful face is resting
deaths cold chill. Thy hands are
elasped upon thy breast, we've kiss
ed thy marble brow, and in our
aching hearts we know we have no
Fannie May now. Oh, the hope,
the hope is sweet, that we soon in
heaven may meet; then we shall
happy be, from pain and sorrow
free. There was angel band in
heaven that was not quite COM
plete, so God took our darling Sis
ter to illsthe vacant seat.
Darling, you have left us: left
as, yes, forever more, but we hope
to meet you on that bright and
happy shore. Through all pain in
life she'd smile, smile of heavenly
birth; and when the angel called
her home she smiled farewell to
earth. Heaven retaineth now our
treasure, earth the louely casket
keeps, and the sunbeams long to
linger where our sainted sister
sleeps. Peaceful be thy silent
slumber, peaceful in thy grave 80
low. Thou no more will join our
number, thou no more our sorrows
know. Yet, again, we hope TO
meet thee, when the day of life is
fed, and in heaven with joys TO
greet thee, where no farewell tears
are shed. 'Tis hard to break the
tender cord when love has bound
the heart; 'tis hard, so hard, to
speak the words we must forever
part" We have roamed in youth
mid the bowers, when thy downy
cheeks were in their bloom. Now /
stand alone mid the flowers, while
they mingle their perfume DER thy
tomb. Ah! the hours grow sad
while I ponder, near the silent spot
where thou art laid; and my heart
bows down when l wander by the

On good soil a greensward may be
