[Original.] Sister Fannie I sit where the wild flowers mantle The turf, in a gorgeous array, Which wraps the fair form of our Fannie Who sings with the angels to-day. Ah well do our sad hearts remember When first we the pallor descried, Which marked the approach of the monster To claim the dear child for his bride. As slowly the crimson hue faded, And death's palli•1 harbinger flung His weird spell so gloomily o'er her. Our hearts a sad requiem sung. As twilight's dim shadows, at even, Proclaim the descent of night's gloom, The wan spectre marked our hearth-angel An occupant of the dark tomb. Bow poignant the snap of the tendrils That twined around each loving heart, When, hopeless, we knew that our darling Must front our home-circle depart? But hope lights a shimmering beacon, Which softens the blow of the torah, And tells us dear Fanny is singing Where flowers eternally bloom. Though, sleeping beneath this green mantle, She's free from earth's turmoil and strife; Secure where the crystal stream gushes From the evergreen mountains of life. prating fin the piiiion.
