"Sister thou wast mild and lovely.

Gentle as the summer breeze,

Pleasant as the air of evening

When it floats among the trees.

 

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,

Peaceful in the grave so low;

Thou no more will join our number.

Thou bo more our songs shall know.

 

Dearest sister thou hast left us.

Here thy loss we deeply feel,

But 'tis God that has bereft us

He can all our sorrows heal.

 

Yet again we hope to meet thee

When the day of life is fled

There in heaven with joy to greet thee.

Where no farewell tear is shed."

C. C. Bentley
