.Sing a country graveyard
Mayaitiful day in June,
llecceary and warm from walk
, .. was near the hour of noon.
AK
amsfhought I would stop a mo
an ' ment
rest and look around,
or I once knew the names of
many
Who occupied that spot of ground.
Yes, I have a father and mother,
Two wives and a sister there,
And also two little children:
And a host of friends to share,
In the vision that came o’er me
As 1 sadly gazed around,
On the mcny silent sleepers
Who lay beneath those mounds.
I saw there graves of all sizes;
Some were remembered with care,
While many had no mark to tell
Who the lonely sleepers were.
Yes, I saw the grave of the lady,
Who once rode o’er the country
'v in search
Of those who were willing to help
her
To build a country church.
But a cyclone had lately came that
way
And tore the little church house
down;
1 could see the lumber and frag
ments
All scattered some distance
around;
And as I sat there reflecting,
My former days 1 could see,
When the most of those dead were
living—
And these lines were suggested to
me.
Over the River of Death—
We are traveling one by one,
Even the little infant,
When this life is scarcely begun!
Before it has learned our language
'Or has learned enough words to
tell,
And can only by looks anil mo
tions,
Bid us that last farewell.
Over the River of Death
From the school house playing
ground.
They bid adieu to their playmates
there,
When for the other shore they're
bound.
Tes, the romping and play is over,
And there is now a vacant place
And their parents look at each
other
With sadness upon their face.
Over the River of I >eath
At the age of sweet sixteen—
They have to obey the summons,
For the Reaper’s blade is keen;
And He is no respecter of per
sons,
Rut when lie makes a call
He cuts down, alike, the young
and the old,
For He seems to want us all.
Over the River of Death
The husband or wife must start,
No matter how sad that parting be
Or how it will crush the heart;
They must get into that little boat
And pull for the other shore,
Then, only a memory of them is
left,
For we see them never more.
Over the River of Death —
When they are aged and gray;
They seem to be glad the time ha:
come!
For they often feel “in the way.*
And really, we sometimes neglec
the old,
Or give them treatment unkind,
And only awaken to think of thes<
things
After they have left us behind.
Over the River—that dank, darl
stream!
J tried, but I could not £ee
Where all this host of. friends
were gone.
Or what their conditions could be;
And my heart was almost sick to
know.
As I turned to go on my way;
I cried out in anguish, “Oh,where
are they V'
And the mocking echo said, “()h,
where are they f”
