But what on earth they would meet again。





The neighbors often told his wife



Not to leave his children there;



Unless she got some one to stay;



And of the little ones take care。





The oldest he was years not six;



And the youngest only eleven months old;



But often she had left them there alone;



As; by the neighbors; I have been told。





How can she bear to see the place。



Where she so oft has left them there;



Without a single one to look to them;



Or of the little ones to take good care。





Oh; can she look upon the spot;



Whereunder their little burnt bones lay;



But what she thinks she hears them say;



''Twas God had pity; and took us on high。'





And there may she kneel down and pray;



And ask God her to forgive;



And she may lead a different life



While she on earth remains to live。





Her husband and her children too;



God has took from pain and woe。



May she reform and mend her ways;



That she may also to them go。





And when it is God's holy will;



O; may she be prepared



To meet her God and friends in peace;



And leave this world of care。
