Had He asked us, well we know
We should say, Oh spare the blow;
Yes, with streaming eyes should pray;
Lord we loved her, let her stay.
In love she lived, in peace she died,
Her life was asked, but God denied.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart.
'Tis hard, Oh hard to speak the words,
We must forever part.
Mother, thou hast gone to rest,
And this shall be our prayer,
That when we reach our journey's end
Thy glory we may share.
None knew her but to love her;
None spoke of her but in praise.
Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend the funeral from St. Peter's Cathedral this (Friday) evening at 5 o'clock. The Richmond Times Dispatch, Friday 11 August 1893, Page 1, Column 8.
