Show LIFE AND LOVE. IS MEMORIAMi (By Nemo.) One dear lifa has flown away At th9 close of autumn's day ; Gone from you and gone from me, Like the leaves on winter'8 tree. Life with ua is but a Cower, Blooming: but a fleeting hour ; Life is like the circling sun, Id oae day its course is run. But the morrow's sun will rise Lighting up the darkened skies, Lifting life and love to light, Banishing the gloomy night, Life is but a caller here, Fraught with anxious doubt and fear, Hoping, waiting, filled with fright. Ready soon to take its flight. Through our pain and joy and strife, Love goes hand in hand vith life, Bu(; love lingers when life goes, Lights the way until the close. Love stays near our hearts to cheer, Bringing eomfort, stilling fear, Brightening memories of the past, Clinging with us to the last. Love still leads us on our way, Sweet reminder of the day When love and life, hand in hand, Greets us in that brighlsr land. Gentfy fold those hands to rest On that pure aad pulseless breast ; Silent lips speak from above A single word, that word is love. |
