We miss thee from the home dear mother We miss thee from thy place; A shadow over our life is cast We miss the sunshine of thy face. We miss thy kind and willing hand Thy fond and earnest care; Our home is dark without thee We miss thee everywhere. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord When love has bound the heart; 'Tis hard so hard to speak the word We must forever part. Dearest loved one we must lay thee in the peaceful graves embrace; But thy memory will be cherished Till we see thy heavenly face.9,31 | ||||||||||||||||||||
