NELLIE JARVIS.
The stanzas below are the production
of Miss Lurie Gallop of Big Trails, and were occasioned by the death of little
Nellie Jarvis, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. Jarvis, of Tensleep.
You have pressed down the lids o'er her
eyes so brown,
And brushed back the hair from her brow,
You have pressed your last kiss on her
dear little face
Your darling has gone from you now.
Her poor little hands crossed over
her breast,
Her sweet childish voice hushed
forever.
And those dear little feet that
never were still,
Have passed over
that beautiful river.
Think not of the stroke that laid her
so low,
Of her little form
now grown so cold.
But think of the beautiful realms of
love
Where she walks on
the pavement of gold.
Your darling has gone from your hearthstone
away,
On this earth you will see her no more.
Let this comfort you when you hear calls
for her;
She is safe on that beautiful shore.
She has only gone to that beautiful land,
As all of us must
sometime do.
And you will find by the side of
that beautiful strand
She is watching and waiting for you.
