Our home is so strangely lonely, A void seems to be every where, The rooms are so large and so empty, When we kneel at the sacred altar. To offer morning, or evening prayer We all feel jhe jbreak in the circle The absent one, is our boy, Clare! Then after our morning devotion . As we all to the table repair, , We still note the place that is vacant We think for a moment, where's Clare! And there is his bed as he used it - For there's rione that tiisTaTe"cairrini And we must submit unto Heaven Acknowledge a kind Father's will. - prompting of something he'd s u'd, Some reminder of that noble one. Yet who notes.the. fall otthe sparrow, And who numbers each separate hair Knows best why He took bur dear one Our darling, our boy, our Clare. ' The family circle is broken, But another above is begun' By our dear Clare and Talula And our turn tojoin them will come; Oh," God grant that each may be doing All the good that we can, and prepare, To join that brigfiteircle in heaven, And dwell with sweet Lula, and Clare. w-- e CRANrrVATSO?f Parowan June 8, '90.
