Nonie”
Your heads are bowed down in sorrow,
Your hearts are now filled with pain
For one whom you loved, O! so dearly,
In her grave you have peacefully lain.
At the gates of the poor and the lowly,
At the portals of the rich and the gay
When death and sorrow enters
There is none can answer them “Nay!”
There’s no fleeing away from our troubles,
No hiding away from our care;
But the wise and the strong, are those
Who bravely life’s trials bear.
May the tears you are shedding
Bring to your hearts sweet repose
As the dew fresh from Heaven
Revives and brightens the rose.
Would it comfort you, Brother and Sister,
Would it sooth your pain if you knew
That our hearts and sympathies
Are both, dearest Friends, with you?
April 1921
A Prayer
Out of my heart, I’ll utter a prayer,
For all that is good and grand,
For those who are meek, and souls that seek
The clasp of a brother’s hand.
I pray for souls that are glad or sad
Or for souls that long to be free.
O! World so great: O! World so strong
May I offer a prayer for thee.
O! Words that I say, Will you bring I pray
To some sad heart sweet bliss?
Fall soft I pray, as a summer day
Or a Mother’s tender kiss.
Tho, sorrow and strife, may cloud my life
Come true, my dreams never may;
But for hearts that ache, and hearts that break,
Teach me, O! Lord to Pray.
(Written in Monroe, Utah and read at G. C.’s funeral in Venice, Utah, April 1, 1921)
