MINNIE LEE.
Writing from an Indiana town a young woman asks: “Is the enclosed poem worth anything?”
We find that the poem is as follows:
She has left us, our own darling—
And we never more shall see
Here on earth our dearly loved one—
God has taken Minnie Lee.
And we never more shall see
Here on earth our dearly loved one—
God has taken Minnie Lee.
Her heart was full of goodness
And her face was fair to see
And her life was full of beauty—
How we miss our Minnie Lee!
And her face was fair to see
And her life was full of beauty—
How we miss our Minnie Lee!
But her work on earth is over
And her spirit now is free
She has gone to live in heaven—
Shall we weep for Minnie Lee?
And her spirit now is free
She has gone to live in heaven—
Shall we weep for Minnie Lee?
Would we call our angel darling
Back again across the sea?
No! but sometime up in heaven
We will meet loved Minnie Lee.
Back again across the sea?
No! but sometime up in heaven
We will meet loved Minnie Lee.
