82 But God's own kind and loving way 'Tis time alone discloses; I thought ere May to pass away, Yet here I clasp June roses. "So gently ebbs my life away, I marvel you can sorrow; The eyes that oped on earth to-day Shall ope in heaven to-morrow; For at the going of the night I heard a spirit warning, 'Look, yonder breaks the rosy light Of your last earthly morning.' "Your love has given my life its charm, Through all my being flowing; But stronger, tenderer is the arm, To whose kind care I'm going.
