\ Oh, how sudden sva> the summon*,

I Time .was too short to say farewell
To our dear one we loved.so well.
.Twelve years have passed, our hearts
still sore,
As time goes on we miss you more;
Your ventle smile, your 'loving, face;
No one can fill your vacant place.
Friends amy: think we have forgotten,
_\ird our wounded hearts are healed,
fTut they little know the sorrow
That- is within our hearts concealed.
Days of darkness still come o'er us,
Tears of sorrow silently flow.'
Hut fond memory keeps neur us,
Though Heaven claimed you twelve
yeiirsyago today.
Dearest /randfather, though we loved
you,
. God loved you besj.
'lie knew you were tired and weary
i So He called you home to rest.

When the shadows are falling,
I Arid we are all alone.
In our hearts there comes a longing
If you could only come home.
Some sweet day we'll meet you, g-rand

Then we'll tell you o'er and o'er
How we miss'-d you since you left us,
When we meet to part no more.
