In Memoriam.
In memory
of the death of Hattie Cron, who died at
Dear ones, in your anguish mourning,
Thinking
almost with despair,
Ever More before your
hearthstone
There will
stand one vacant chair.
Thinking how, as duties press you,
And the
dreary days go on,
You will miss the loving presence
Of the one forever, forever gone.
How at evening you will listen,
As the
footsteps pass the door,
For one step upon the threshold
That will
never cross it more.
We are mourners in your sorrow;
We are
sharers in your grief;
We would speak some word of comfort,
Gladly would
we bring relief.
A precious one form us is
gone;
A voice we
loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in your home
That never
can be filled.
Yet again we hope to meet her,
When the days
of life have fled,
There in Heaven with joy we’ll greet her,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
A Friend.
