The icy hand of death

Was laid on cheek and brow,

And Grace, the cherished idol, lay

Beneath his shadow now.

"Oh Gracie, darling, leave me not"

The anguished mother sighed

"Hush mama; mama, please be still"

The little sufferer cried

 

"Dear brother, Gracie's going home

Be good, my darling one,

And give this kiss to dear papa,

Whenever he comes home"

"Now I will go to sleep," and soft

The blue eyes closed, the breath

Fluttered more quietly, then was still

Sweet Gracie slept in death.

 

Blest sleep! to open those blue eyes

Where death can never come

To gaze with wonder and surprise

Upon her Heavenly home

And looking back to the sad world

To her darkened earthly home,

Is she not calling, "brother dear,

Papa, mama, come home"
