Listen in the reader

After life's eventful mission, In her truthfulness and worth, Like a calm and gentle vision She has passed away from earth. Lovely she in frame and feature! Blended purity and grace!— The Creator in the creature Glowed in her expressive face! Angel of a nature human! Essence of a celestial love! Heart and soul of trusting woman, Gone to her reward above! Mourners, dry your tears of sorrow— Read the golden promise o'er; There will dawn a cheerful morrow When we meet to part no more.
