A light is from our household gone,
   A voice we loved is still'd.
A place is vacant at our hearth
   Which never can be fill'd.
A gentle heart that throbbed but late
   With tenderness and love,
Has hush'd its weary throbbing here,
   To live in bliss above.
Yes, to the home where angels are,
   Her ransomed soul has fled;
And yet we bend about her tomb
   With teas, and call her dead.
We call her dead, but ah! we know
She dwells where living waters flow.
