MAGGIE TO FRANK.
31
I can only hear the angelsSinging in their shining homeFar beyond the rolling river,Happy on the golden shore,—I can hear the music stealingSoftly through the open door.
Calling, ever calling to me,From across the silent seaLying dark and cold between us—Little brother, come for me.Now, I feel your clasping fingersFolding closely over mine,And across the waveless waterGolden lights begin to shine.Brother, lead your little sisterUp before the great white throne,Where the loving Saviour tells usLittle children are His own.
