Let th? evp'-ess wave over the home she has left. And the willow's long branches droop mournfully there, 'Tis meet that we weep with the lone ones, bereft ()' a wile's warm affection, a mother's fond care. l-'omi husband and children, the hand that has borne Your treasure from enrth, moved in wisdom and love She has gone to a laud whence she ne'er can return, but to vou it is given to meet her above.
