Tribute to Mrs. Einnie MurreII.

When the glories of nature
Appeal most to thee
Remember 1 loved them,
And think thou of me.
While in dreams chain of music
Softly breaks upon thine ear,
Think of the choir invisible,
And believe that am near.
When the fragrance of Easter lilies
Regales thee, with subtle power
Remember the Bard hath said,
A spirits in every flower.
''Let the cadence and swell of the or
gan,
At Holy Christmas tide,
Be to thee, a loving message
For 10! 1 sit by thy side"
