IN MEMORY OF MRS. C. R.
ROBINSON
Why weep for her who slumbers here
Why bow so sadly round her peace-
ful bier
Why dim with tears this funeral knell
Why Mcum for her, she slumbers
well.
She has fought life’s battle strong
and brave
Earning sweet rest in a silent grave
For her the victory has been won
Not our will but Thyne be done.
She lived a long and useful life
Faithful as mother, friend and wife
Her fate is every mortals doom
Soon all will be laid within the
tomb
We miss her kind and loving voice
Her soft and gentle tread
We miss her round the parental
hearth
For Dear Irene is dead.
No not dead just only sleeping
In her dark silent tomb
Where her dear feet once trod
Now bright flowers shall bloom
But if we live as God would have us.
And heed his admonition still.
We will meet her again by the golden
gate
Where we know she is resting and
patiently wates.
