\\ VI t V10RIAM
in memory of the beloved Mrs. J. G '
Vuinlao:
IVarest Minnie, thou has left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hath bereft us:
He can all out sorrow heal.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber?
Teoceful in the grave so low:
Thou no more will join our number:
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee.
Where no farewell tear is shed.
