! In Memory

Ill VtIIlOIy
OF my cousin W. H. Fisher who died
some months ago.
IT'S hard to break the tender cords,
When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard so hard to speak the words,
Must we forever part.
he is waiting by the river,
Just across the silver stream,
Where sweet flowers are ever blooming
And the banks are always green.
Where no cold chill blast of winter,
To twine the rose blossoms fair,
But where all is love and sunshine,
He is waiting for us there.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where flowers gently wave,
IT'S the one love so dear,
In his lonely silent grave.
Sleep dear cousin, sleep and take
your rest,
God took you home He thought il
best,
1t was hard indeed to miss thee,
Farewell dear cousin, sad farewell
For our dear cousin has forever
passed away. Written by his cousin
ANNA ALICE SHIPE.
