When We Must Part
(MARTHA S. LIPPINCOTT.) When you must pass beyond, dear heart, Into the realms above, Will you then sometimes think of me, And of-our endless love? Oh! will onr spirits still commune And seem to e’er be neat ? Unless ’tis thus, oh, how can I E'er be resigned, my dear? The world will, oh! so lonely be, When you are not around. No happiness for my sad heart On earth can then .be found. Oh! how the thought of parting, love My soul W’ith anguish fills; ’Tis hard to feel that it is all As our dear Father w ills. We wonder why two hearts in one Cruel death must separate, And why to both go Lome at once Could not be love's blest fate. No, No! onr spirits cannot part; Sweet memories remain To keep you in my heart, till both Shall life eternal gain.
