95
STRONG IN DEATH
Because the blinds were down I knew
That he I loved so much had started
To travel hence beyond my view
And leave me lonely-hearted.
That he I loved so much had started
To travel hence beyond my view
And leave me lonely-hearted.
Farewell was spoken then with tears.
But when I whispered, “Life is colder,”
The hand that helped my bitter years
Seemed firm again upon my shoulder.
But when I whispered, “Life is colder,”
The hand that helped my bitter years
Seemed firm again upon my shoulder.
