Obituary: GRUBE. On November 7, 1883, Dollie Ethel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. T. and H. A. Grube, aged 11 months, 3 weeks and three days. Dear little one to early called From earthly sin and sorrow, To realm of never ending light, Those days shall have no sorrow. They've lain thee where the shadows creep The cold earth for thy pillow, And left thee to thy dreamless sleep Beneath the bending willow. We miss thee here beside the hearth, And sit in silent mourning; Thy littte bark now outward bound Shall know no more returning. Thy little feet have strayed afar Beyond Death 'a gloomy river, Where never lading blossoms are And summer lostel forever. We know you rest where Jesus dwells, Our little earthly blossom Has found a safe and sure retreat Within the Saviours bosom. The early called, how blest are they, Thus freed from earthly sorrow Who woke to find eternal day And know no sad to-morrow. A. F. |
