Another hand is beckoning us, Another call is given; And glows once more with angel steps The path which reaches Heaven. Our young and gentle friend, whose smile Made brighter summer hours, Amid the frost of Winter's time, Has left this world of ours. Alone unto our Father's will One thought hath reconciled-- That He whose love exceedeth ours Has taken home his child. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT
