Asleeping.
No more her gentle voice will call
A husband or a child.
No more her loving words will fall;
She sleepeth -- Gone awhile.
When our joys turned to sorrows,
She gave a cheering word;
But our yesterdays all turned to-
morrows.
No more her voice'll be heard.
Sleep on! O [?] of us all;
Sleep! to thy contentment;
For when in death to us you'll call,
We'll answer in judgement.
T.F.J.
