REUNITED.
The one was taken, the other left, They who were long since wed;And it seemed so hard to leave her Alone in her cold, cold bed;With no loving heart beside her There with the silent dead.
He tarried awhile till the Master Called from the other shore,Bidding the boatman carry The white-haired pilgrim o'er,Where ever patiently waited The one who had gone before.
And O! how glad was the meeting Of these loved ones over there,When the fetters of earth-life melted Away in the glory rare,Which, softly falling around them, Transfigured the aged pair!
