Thou art gone, fair friend, from life's bright day
and power,
From hearts that ache and
fret in sorrow's darkest hour.
Thy words and laughter silent, to our listening
ears,
In memory's chamber sounding, call forth grief and
tears.
But hark! there comes a promise true and rare,
A promise borne by angels in the lambent air.
"Life give I" says the voice in accents
sweet,
"Life give I to one for life so* meet*."
Life, he her Savior, won on
The guerdon of his power and victory.
