Summor will come again to touch Its blossom, blade and tree But ah! sweet blossom loved so much It comes Bot back to thet. And yet, oh child, of uany apiayer, iCterual summer awaits thee there.

To hide your tears from human eyes, Yet drink the bitter cup 'Twas hard to kiss the cold, -.vbite brow Aud lay her where she's sleeping now. Oh, for the faith that upward springs Through darkness, doubt and gloom. That hears the Pong a- seraph sings And lights the lonely tomb. A little while to watch and weep, There's calm beneath the troubled Jeep. We lay them down with tears to rf st. The temler and the fair. We hush the sorrow in the breast And lift our hands in prayer. He hears our bitter^ mournful cry. The answer cometh â€" bye and bye. The tear in many a lonely hour As memory's couch may start. But time will fall with soothing power And love bind up the heart.
