Fare thee will sweet little cherub, / Thous are in the silent tomb. / Now thy prattling voice is silent / Thou hast early met thy doom.

Oh! we miss thee little Frankie, / Every day and every hour / Every moment shows some token / Of thy loves enkindling power.

Short thy stay on earth among us. / Oh, thou pure angelic one.  / But thy mission is accomplished, / And thy work on earth is done.

Thou hast gone to meet thy kindred / Who have journeyed on before. / And how gladly will they greet thee, / As you near the other shore.

When the evening shades are gathering, / Then we miss thee little one. / Oh, we knew not how we loved thee, / Frankie dear till thou wast gone.

Yet we hope again to meet thee, / In a better world than this, / When the race of life is finished. / Meet thee in a land of bliss. M.R.
