As she looks across the years
At the scenes OF youth unfaded.
Till her eyes are dimmed with tears.
Grassy graves rise up before her.
She can read each loved ones

And a wave OF peace steals DER her
She is last upon the roll.
Visions OF the bright hereafter
For the moment pass from view.
When the children's merry laughter
Brings the oldcn joys anew.
And they tenderly carcss her
Pour their music IN her cars.
For she loves them all. God bless her!
