There's a lone little grave on the hillside
O'er which has no blossom yet blown;
Upon it the first snow is falling
And around it the winter winds moan.
There's a dear little chair by the fire side
That vacant will be evermore.
There's a box laid aside full of playthings,
That will never more litter the floor.
There's one more little angel in heaven.-
( How selfish I am to complain!)
I have one little lamb safely folded
Away from earth's sorrow and pain.
Oh, heart that is empty, and aching
For the little one under the sod,
Held fast to these sweet words of comfort,
"Of such is the Kingdom of God."
