'Thy Father liath mansions fair—
A home prepared, not made with hands;

Then she bowed in sweet submission,
And whispered, "Thy will lit; done."
My Father lintti called. I am ready,

Our hearts were so torn aud sore;
We could not hear the glad welcome
The songs, on that other shore
Hut she is not far, our loved one—
Away in some distant dime;
For the Father's Heavenly kingdom,
Is close to the shores of Time.
