DARLING boy, Sister's joy, With your loving smile, Kiss me now, On my brow, Stay with me awhile! He who has loved me, He whom I longed to see, Calls me away; I must not stay. He is near, True and dear, Darling, do not cry! Jesus too Loveth you, Loves you more than I. Kneel by my pillow here, Tell Him the sorrow, dear; He is so kind, This you will find. Angels bright, Robed in light, In that happy home, Singing wait At the gate, Till He bids me come. Soon, brother, I shall see Him who has died for me; I am so glad, Yet you are sad. Hymn and prayer We did share, Many an evening past; Jesus heard Every word, This may be the last. Ere next the light grows dim, I may be there with Him. Praising Him too, Waiting for you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN AUGUST MIDNIGHT by THOMAS HARDY FESTOONS OF FISHES by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 22 by ALFRED TENNYSON INSTRUCTIONS, SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN IN PARIS, FOR THE MOB IN ENGLAND by MARY (CUMBERLAND) ALCOCK THE MASTER BLACKSMITH by ARNOLD ANDREWS AN AUTUMNAL THOUGHT, 1795 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
