In Memory Of Fred
Just one year ago dear Fred we laid
YOU,
Down in the grave so deep;
Amid the falling flakes OF snow,
Where naught disturbs your sleep.
The many years that you were gone;
Gone, we knew not where;
Yet tenderly in memory dear,
You were followed with our prayer.
No sister there to drop tear;
No mother to caress your brow,
When you were at home we were
happy Fred,
But sorrow has cl0uded now.
Upon his graveIll plant sweet flowers
And weeping willow tree;
And bathe its roots with many tear,
That it may shelter me.
