      Not lost, but gone before;
   She lives with us in memory still,
      And will for evermore.

      Where the trees their branches wave,

      In his cold and silent grave.
   He is gone, but not forgotten,
      And as it dawns another year.
   In our lonely hours of thinking,
      Thoughts of him are always near.
   Two years have passed, and still we miss him;
      Folks may think the wound is healed,
   But little do they know the sorrow
      That lie within our hearts concealed.
Inserted by his wife and daughters.
