Gone from the gloom and the gladness,
Gone from the l'gbt and the cheer,
Gone from the love that was oloeeet,
Gone from the lips that were dear.
Under the snow we have laid her,
Hollowed a chamber of rest, '
Shot are the sweet eyes, and folded
The hands on the death -frozen breast,
Gone, and our home le so dreary,
Gone, and our hearts are so rent,
Gone from the paths that she brightened
Always with cheerful ooatent,
How shall we live on without her 2
How reach the end of the day P
Shadows and darkness have gathered
Think -o'er the desolate way.
She has entered the mannione of glory,
Sale m the bosom of God,
Walking in the highways of Heaven,
Free, where the rauaomed have trod.
Frio from the blighting of Borrow,
Pure from the staining of sin,
While alter great tribulation
Glad the fair airy to win.
Satielbed therewithher Saviour,
Coated all the toil and the care,
Never again bo be burdened,
Never a heartache to boar.
How shall we wait till we meet her?
How meat we yearn for the day
