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