Roses sweet and lilies white Cuddle close and hug you tight. Bidding all behold the light Sti earning o'er youi path of flight. .loro, a bit of soft heart's ease, Mid the fragrance of sweet peas. Bring a meed of calm and peace. To a grief that will not cease. • Lilics-of-the-valley rare, Close entwine with maidenhair, I.is er in to do their share, Symbolize your soul so fair. Mingling too, is mignonette, Pie. ling dear ones not to fret, rhoagh tney’ve lost their lit le pet. His soul's fiagrance lingeis yet. Purple pansies' velvet sheen, Peep from folds of leafy green, Signifying pain most keen. Horne beneath a smiling mien. Red geraniums relate Tales of Baby s happy state. tine forget-me-nots abate The stern tragedies of fa e. With a vine we'll bind them round, Where you sleep in lowly mound; Jars attuned to heavenly sound, Hear sweet praise to God abound. April 2, 1930 Contributed by: Emilia E. Tonnelier 333 Fourth St.
