"We extend a note of sympathy to the bereaved parents of these two little cousins, whose deaths were so closely associated.
"When we see a precious blossom
That we've tended with such care,
Taken from our very bosom,
How our aching hearts despair!
'Round its little grave we linger
Where the winds blow bleak and cold,
Feeling all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherished so.
They may sleep but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn!
We shall meet and be together
On the resurrection morn!
From the deepest caves of ocean,
From the desert and the plain,
___________________ mountain,
___________________ again."¹
