REUNITED.
The one was taken, the other left,
They who were long since wed;
And it seemed so hard to leave her
Alone in her cold, cold bed;
With no loving heart beside her
There with the silent dead.
They who were long since wed;
And it seemed so hard to leave her
Alone in her cold, cold bed;
With no loving heart beside her
There with the silent dead.
He tarried awhile till the Master
Called from the other shore,
Bidding the boatman carry
The white-haired pilgrim o'er,
Where ever patiently waited
The one who had gone before.
Called from the other shore,
Bidding the boatman carry
The white-haired pilgrim o'er,
Where ever patiently waited
The one who had gone before.
And O! how glad was the meeting
Of these loved ones over there,
When the fetters of earth-life melted
Away in the glory rare,
Which, softly falling around them,
Transfigured the aged pair!
Of these loved ones over there,
When the fetters of earth-life melted
Away in the glory rare,
Which, softly falling around them,
Transfigured the aged pair!
