Emily Adaline Gilbert

Yes, gone to the grave
Is she whom we loved,
And lifeless that form
That so greatly moved:
The clods of the valley,
Encompass her head.
This reminds us,
A sister is dead.
Ye spirits of air
That surrounded her bed,
Oh? Speak ye and tell where
Her spirit has fled,
No voice need speak: Jehovah,
Hath said in his word,
That blessed are they,
Who die in the Lord.
