In Memoriam.



"Written in memory of Edna, little daughter of James and Crissie Burton,
born July 13th, 1887, and died January 10th, 1889."



Dear little one, so early called

From earthly sin and sorrow,

To realms of never-ending light,

Whose days shall have no morrow.

They've lain thee where shadows creep,

The cold earth for thy pillow,

And left thee to thy dreamless sleep

Beneath the bending willow.



We miss the here, beside the hearth,

And sit in silent mourning;

Thy little bark now outward bound,

Shall know no more returning.

Thy little feet have strayed afar,

Beyond Death's gloomy river,

Where ne'er fading blossoms are,

And summers last forever.



We know they rest where Jesus dwells,

Our little earthly blossom,

Has found a safe and sure retreat,

Within the Savior's bosom.

The early called, how blest are they

Thus freed from earthly sorrow!

Who wake to find eternal day,

And know no sad to-morrow.
