Loving Memories
Your gentle face and patient smile With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all.
_I
The voice is rhute-'and stilled the heart That loved us well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part From one so good as _you.
You are not forgotten loved one Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last We will remember thee.
