Nv heart deep in sorrow returns to this day.
As memory recalls how death bore him
away.
And left me in tears, in grief and in woe.
When l stood by his grave one year ago.
Each hour hut comes anew
With bitter of loss:
oh. God in mercy pity me.
Help me 10 bear the cross.
W, new it was not death. but life.
" hen -esus stopped to say.
u am the way. the truth, the life,
And led my son away.
Oft we hav- wandered TO the graveyard.
Tende ly 'e have nursed the flowers;
There beside dear Alvin's grave
We have passed many sad hours.
Looking 10 the sky above u.s.
Wondering IL IL will be long
Ere the angels come to take us
To the place wheuD-Alvin's gone.
Farewell. dear Alvin. a sad farewell,
Thy loss TO me no tongue can tell.
And when on earth IN brea the more,
Ill meet You on the heavenly shore.
Keep him. Jesus in Thy keeping.
TIL i9e reach the celestial shore;
Then. q Master. let us have him.
To keep and love him before.
Gone in the best OF his DAYS
Right in manic DDS bloom:
In our hearts there comes a longing,
If you only would come home.

How sweet the memory still.
But death has left a lonesomeness
This world can never fill.
You have gone from your dear ones
Your dear babies and your wife.

And loved as your life.

Friends may think the wound is healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That lies within my heart concealed.

For We know across the river
