IN MEMORY OF FRANKIE O'NEIL

Let your voices be hushed.
For Death has been here;
He has taken the one
Whom of all; was most dear.

None saw him, none heard him,
So softly he sped;
No one saw the dark wings
Bending low o'er the bed.

But the spirit we loved
He swift bore away,
When the night's sable curtains
Were fading to grey.

Yes, Frankie is dead!
The fond heart is stilled;
But her memory lives.
Though her body lies chilled.

Though the cruel death angel
Has stolen the flower,
O'er the perfume it leaves
His hand hath no power.

We will miss the dear face,
We were wont to behold;
It soon will be hid
‘Neath the grave dark and cold!

See how calmly she lies!
Her eyes softly closed;
She looks not like death,
But as if she reposed.

Her hands, white and waxen,
Are crossed on her breast;
Speak softly! Tread lightly!
O! Break not her rest.

complete equipment. It is made of Michigan woods, painted stone gray with
brown trimmings and red roof, and is a present from western Michigan friends
