The shadows stole as once they fell, Though on a vacant chair; But with the children all was well, — Faith, Hope, and Love were there! THE SHADOWS STOLE AS ONCE THEY FELL THOUGH ON A VACANT CHAIR BUT WITH THE CHILDREN ALL WAS WELL FAITH HOPE AND LOVE WERE THERE
adows round them wait, Two children nestle there The elder has the tender smile Her Mother’s face had worn, When so unselfish all the while Diviner life was born. And gazing in those brimming eyes Uplifted to her own, In that young heart new thoughts arise, And in the loving tone, She caught from lips that always spoke To kindle hope and joy, A tender meaning slowly broke Upon the wondering boy. “ She isn’t dead? — and can she hear Whatever I may say! I heard a whisper at my ear, This morning in my play; “I guess she told me not to frown, When Walter made me miss. I kept the ugly feeling down; Does she see things like this? FRESH FLOWERS. 03 “ Oh, now I know why every day You pick these gay, fresh flowers, And fix them in the same old way; I thought them only ours. “I looked upon her chair to-day, And felt so very sad ! But if she’s happy far away, I’ll try to feel more glad; “And be to every one I know As kind as I can be : And then, when into Heaven I go, She’ll kiss and welcome me.”  TWO ONCE SATE AND BREATHE THE SUMMER AIR TILL TWILIGHT SHADOWS ROUND THEM WAIT TWO CHILDREN NESTLE THERE THE ELDER HAS THE TENDER SMILE HER MOTHER'S FACE HAD WORN WHEN SO UNSELFISH ALL THE WHILE DIVINER LIFE WAS BORN AND GAZING IN THOSE BRIMMING EYES LIFTED TO HER OWN IN THAT YOUNG HEART KNEW THOUGHT TO RISE AND IN THE LOVING TONE SHE CAUGHT FROM LIPS THAT ALWAYS SPOKE TO KINDLE HOPE AND JOY A TENDER MEANING SLOWLY BROKE UPON THE WONDERING BOY SHE ISN'T DEAD AND CAN SHE HEAR WHATEVER I MAY SAY I HEARD A WHISPER AT MY EAR THIS MORNING IN MY PLAY I GUESS SHE TOLD ME NOT TO FROWN WHEN WALTER MADE ME MISS IT KEPT THE UGLY FEELING DOWN DOES SHE SEE THINGS LIKE THIS OH NOW I KNOW WHY EVERY DAY YOU PICK THESE GAY FRESH FLOWERS AND FIX THEM IN THE SAME OLD WAY I THOUGHT THEM ONLY OURS I LOOKED UPON HER CHAIR TO DAY AND FELT SO VERY SAD BUT IF SHE'S HAPPY FAR AWAY I'LL TRY TO FEEL MORE GLAD AND BE TO EVERY ONE I KNOW AS KIND AS I CAN BE AND THEN WHEN INTO HEAVEN I GO SHE'LL KISS AND WELCOME ME
