IN MEMORY OF MOTHER.
Oh mother, 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 clasped upon thy breast;
We all have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts We know
We have no wife or mother now.
When we leave this world Of changes.
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our darling wife and
Mother in our heavenly mansion fair.
Farewell, wife; farewell, mother;
We must say our last farewell,
Till we all meet beyond the river,
Happy there with thee to dwell.
