POEMS.
My darling, I love thee with all my true heart;
Dear to memory ever till from earth I depart.
There my loving spirit will watch thee from above;
Will guard thee so tenderly till I clasp thee with love.
Dear to memory ever till from earth I depart.
There my loving spirit will watch thee from above;
Will guard thee so tenderly till I clasp thee with love.
Farewell, my dear loved ones, when gone to my God,
Do not forget mother resting beneath the cold sod.
Do not forget mother resting beneath the cold sod.
ALONE THE HEART SPEAKETH.
Alone the heart speaketh the answer to God,
Ever the heart grieveth till under the sod.
There is rest for the weary in heaven above,
Where God will receive us with eternal love.
Gladly I'd flee were this mortal life o'er,
To the realms of bliss on eternity's shore.
Alone and so weary the most hopeless strife
To lighten the burthens of this mortal life.
To the realms of bliss on eternity's shore.
Alone and so weary the most hopeless strife
To lighten the burthens of this mortal life.
