FEEL for thy grief and would mipgle my 'eara'


All gently and sadly With thne'
For we've struggled eike with the eorro" OF year.
AID lis meet that our sympa,hes twiae
,rhor., .b,ouded n,cmen, in darkness and gloom
One STAR has gone down from thy sight;
gu, have we not faith that away from the tomb


II will shine with ovelier light
And think no, thou wa;chest and weepest alone,
IN those weary and desolate hours,
When Fancy remembers the smile and the tone
That have passed like the fading Of howcrs
There are kind ones and true who conrnngle with me
Their tears for thy spirit bereft;
And are there no, sisters and mother with thee,
Like angels 10 hallow it left
The rose tina, has bowed to the storm os j, passed,
The lily thst loses its bloom,
return when the Spring It's soft sunshine bas cast
All blushing and fresh with perfume.
And may we not hope ,hatthe friends whom we love
Who parted mid sorrow and pain,
VIII smile to The sunshine OF glory above,


And meet US in heaven agar?
An! fondly we see them and NEE, them in dream
We know they are happy and bles,-
And long when their eyes with such tenderness beam
To share in their beautiful rest,
. mourn not too deeply remember the hand


That chastcns is sdster than thine: 80.
The stricken has joined. in far better land 90


His FATHER, your father, ard mine
