VIOLIN MUSIC.

Somewhere tonight among the hills of Heaven She walks, with her stars around her, While I who lost her here on earth Grow happy, knowing God has found her For many days through all paths of radiance Made for her feet to travel, sought her. Through all the wide lagoons of dawn And mazv lanes nf meonlit water. Now know I by the path of this strange music, Beyond the world she went a. straying. Almost you bring me where she walks Ahl for the love of God, cease not your playing.
