IN MEMORIAM.
jGORDON.We miss theo from our home, dear mother, We miss thee from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy face. We miss thy fond and willing hand '; Thy kind and earnest care, ! Our home is dark without thee, We miss thee everywhere. 1 Inserted by her loving daughter, Mrs Gibson. GORDON. — In loving memory of my dear mother, Mary Gordon, who died 17th November, 1901. How sudden was your call, dear mother, ■ Not a word could you say, Hard seems my lot which has befell, For I was not there to say farewell. We never knew a mother's worth, Nor missed the love she gave, Until in the cold, cold earth Her silent form was laid. ' Inserted by her loving daughter, Mary Asane King, Auckland.
