No stain was on her little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. She was too pure for this cold earth too beautiful to stay, and so God's holy angel bore our darling one away. In my heart your memory lingers, always tender, fond and true; there's not a day, dear mother, I do not think of you. There is a link death cannot sever, love and remembrance last forever.
