In Memoriam

 

(The following lines were composed by Mrs. Herbert N. Eggleston on the death of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Pettis' baby, of Reading , Minn. )

 

Your little darling now is sleeping,

Only sleeping, mother, dear;

Why art thou in silence weeping -

Does the night seem dark and dreary?

 

Loving eyes have closed in slumber

Lips that we have pressed are dumb,

Golden links are snapped asunder,

But the morning soon will come.

 

Oh! the night is weary, weary.

Not a star shines through the gloom,

And our home is sad and dreary

Since our little one has gone.

 

But the morn is coming, mother,

Yonder on the golden shore;

When you'll meet your angel baby,

When the sleep of earth is o'er.

 

Sleep on darling, life is weary,

And though tears fall on thy tomb,

And the night seems lone and dreary

Yet the morning soon will come.
