Farewell; dear friends,

God calls me, and I cannot stay.

Dear heart that beat so true to mine

Through all our happy wedded years; May not my grateful love assuage your grief

And dry your bitter tears?

Farewell until your summon calls,

To leave this world of sin and pain;

Till the realms of endless bliss.

At home with God,

We meet again;

We’ll meet again where parting is unknown;

Before our Heavenly Father’s Throne.



A Friend.

Additional Comments:
The 1918 flu pandemic or “Spanish flu” was caused by an unusually severe and 

deadly Influenza A virus strain infecting one fifth of the world’s population 

making it the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history.
