IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE
or Ollivene Opal Duvau


Farewell, dear Ollivene, sweet thy
rest
Farewell till in some happy place
we shall meet thy face again
IT'S ours to miss thee,
All our years and tender memories
of thee keep.
Thou hast gone, and left us darling
Olivene,
Left father, mother, sisters and
brother here to weep and mourn
And our lives are full Of sorrow since
thou left thy loving home,
Vain we question why 1t happens
How it can be for the best,
That our dearest Olivene so early in
her journey needed rest.
Yet, who could ask our God to leave
Leave thee in this world below;
But all the house is very still,
The world looks awful beyond the
door,
All is still and all is chill and our
Olivene will wake no more.
Yet 1t does not seem that she is dead,
Her slumber does not seem so deep
tbs only dark because day has fled
And she is lying upon her little bed
Tired, tired, and fast asleep.
For yet, with all our tender love and
care,
Would thou have entered heaven so
Oh, how sweet will be the meeting
when hence we shall depart
There to meet our dearest Olivene
And never, never part.
