One Less—One More
On the death of Ernest Rich.
One darling less on earth today,  One more in Heaven's fold;One less to tread life's rugged way,  One more in the streets of gold.
One empty cage—the bird hath flown;  One happy home band riven;There's one tie less that binds to earth,  One more that draws toward heaven.
