POEMS.
Each to go our separate way,—
No more to meet till judgment-day,—
When, all grief and suffering o'er,
No more our lives on earth deplore:
We may meet on earth no more.
        No, never more.

Farewell, then!—a fond adieu!—
If I meet no more with you,
There's a home in Heaven above
Will not shut out those whom we love,
Where I may rest for ever more.
        Yes, ever more!

'Tis with grief and heartfelt sigh
That I say the sad good-bye.
When we live our lives apart
The tear-drops oft for thee will start:
We may meet on earth no more.
        No, never more!
