"SHOULD YOU GO FIRS Ttt
Should you go first and I remain To walk tho road alone,
I 111 live'in meroory 1s garden, dear, With happy days we've known.
In Spring I 111 -vrait for roses red vJhon fades the lilacs blue'
In early .Fall 1.-rhen brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you,
Should you go first and I remain For battles to be fought,
Each thing you've touched along the way Will be a hallo\rod sport.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile, Though blindly I may grope,
Tho :memo~J of your helping hand Will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain To finish with the scroll,
No length 1ning shadows shall creep in To mako this life seem droll.
vle 1ve known so much of happiness,
He 'vo had our cup of joy And memory is one gift of God
That death cannot destroy.
Should you go first and I remain, One thing I 1d have to ' do;
Halk slowly down the path of death, For soon 1 111 follow you.
I'll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same,
For someday down that lonely road You'll hoar me call your name .
