21
But her room seems lonely, dreary, and cold;
It does not look as it did of old;
The shutters are broken, the curtains are torn,
And here I sit weeping, sad, and lone.

But I will not mourn, for I know to-day,
She has risen on wings, and flown away
To join the blest "beyond the river,"
And sing God's praises forever and ever.
