of Bruce Elliott.
Called Home
He has passed away
Like a gentle breath,
And his eyes are closed with the sleep
of death;
The leaves on the trees will nutter
and fall,
And the drifting now will cover ALL
But he will peacefully, calmly re-.
Forever happy
BY the angels blest.
Just in the spring
OF manhood
Tender and loving and kind and qold
on too good for this sinful earlh
only the angels knew his worth.
So they called him unto them,
Decked his brow
With a dia"em.
Better to smile
When such a life
Gives up the battle of earthly strife
Better to know his tasks are done.
Trials are ended and glory won.
Tears are vain when a soul so bright
Wings its way
To the gates of light.
He has passed away
But his sweet good will
Like a fragrant odor fingers still
The tender lesson that memory brin.
The memory of patience DER us fins
We learn to follow the path he trod
To be more like him
Who has gone to God.
