IF my friends have any alabaster
boxes Alled, with the perfumes of
sympathy and affection over my
dead body would rather they bring
them out In my weary days that
may be refreshed and cheered while
| need IL
II would rather have n bare coffin
without a flower and funeral with
out preacher or n hearso than
life without the sweetness OF love
and sympathy.
"net US anoint our friends before
hand for burial. Post-mortem kind
uesses do not cheer the burdened
heart Flowers on the coffin cast no
fragrance over the weary days OF
life
Build little fence ~ trust
Around today
EI'l fhs spRtr WIN loving deeds
And therein stay.
Look not through the sheltering bars
Ipop tomorrow.
Rut take whatcN cr comes go thee
or 10Y and sorrow.
