In Memoriam Close the curtains gently, softly, Shut the golden sunlight out. Bid the children 'neath the window Hush their laugh and merry shout Why burst forth those tears of anguish Wailings bitter, sobbings deep Let's kneel down and gently whisper, Genevieve's "only gone to sleep." Dear, loved one! We shall miss thee When we meet for evening prayer. Thy loved voice shall never reach us We shall see thy vacant chair Push aside the snowy cover Over which dim shadows creep Then draw near and gaze in silence Dearest Genevieve's "gone to sleep."
