Sometimes think if God had known
How dear you were to me,
He would have stayed Deaths hasty call
That took you from my side
Leaving bowed down with grief
Like tender flower in storm;
Robbing me Of fe's precious gift
And the charm of your patient smile.
Time, in his measured tread, has left his stamp
upon my brow
The weary years have failed to
The dull cold ache in my heart that knows no peace.
Oft in my troubled dreams, | seem to breathe q
broken prayer,
But when, with eager longing awake,
Death is not standing there
TO take gently by the hand
And lead me where you wait.
