What a happy life we led;
Now we're lonely since our loved ono

A kind and faithful wife;
She left a name unblotted,
For she led a truthful life.

For your darling isut rest;
She has left this world of sorrow—
God took her for tho b( s‘ .
She has crossed the deep dark river,
Closed is her eyelids now in sleep
For in the arms of her dear Savior,—
Poor, tired Alice fell asleep.
