TRAVEL WORN
It id so peaceful hero, Near where our loved ones sleep, Those who have passed before Into ths great bej ond, And for whose loss we weep. It is so peaceful here — Near where the roses creep Close to the stone above Where our hearts loved are laid, Ouv loved for whom we weep. Near to the murm'ring streamNear where the violets peep Forth from their shady leaves, Breathing their fragrance sweet, Ah ! If 1 could but sleep. Near to the murm'ring streamNear where the roses creep, And sleeping thus, to pa^s Into the rest beyond, Into the peaceful sleep. Oamavu, August ISO 2.
