For years ninety and a half she trod
The earthly path with its joy and pain
Then said good-night and the tired feet
Went back to the home of the soul,
Went smiling away to meet the one
Who waited her coming in the better land
All the love of youth in her aged face
In its perfect peace as she passed away.
