DEDICATED TO THE MOST CHERISHED MEMORY OF MY ONE-YEAR-OLD SON WILLIAM AVERELL HISSEY
Darling, if Jesus rose, Then thou in God’s sweet strength hast risen as well; When o’er thy brow the solemn darkness fell, It was but one moment of repose. Thy love is mine—my deathless love to thee! May God’s love guard us till all death is o’er,— Till thine eyes meet my sorrowing eyes once more,— Then guard us still, through all eternity!
A HOME OF TO-DAY.
