WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU

When I must leave you

For a 1ittle while-

Please do not grieve

And shed wild tears

And hug your sorrow to you

:

Through the years,

But start out bravely

Wi th a gallant smile;

And for my sake

And i n my name

*

Live on and do

A h

Al1 things the same,

Feed not your loneliness

On empty days,

But fill each waking hour

In useful ways,

Reach out your hand

In comfort and in cheer

And I in turn will comfort you

And hold you near;

4

And never, never

Be afraid to die,

For I am waiting for you in the sky!
