?60 FORTY-FOUR YEARS OF 



Death came hctweea us, to diviile. 

 And stiuck the fatal blow 



Which took from me one loved full well 

 Since eighteen years ago. 



The last look that I gave, she lay 



With hands crossed on her breast ; 

 I kissed the lovely, placid face, 



Which spoke her spirit's rest. 

 And now she dwells beyond the sua. 



And I am left below, 

 To mourn for her I've loved so w«U 



Since eighteen years ago.
