Another leaf has fallen, another soul has gone. But still we have God's promises, in every robin's song.
For He is in His Heaven, and though He takes away. He always leaves to mortals the bright sun's kindly ray. He leaves the fragrant blossoms, and lovely forests, green. And gives us new found comfort, when we on Him will Jean.
