Silently The Shades Of Evening
Gather Round My Lonely Door ;
Silently They Bring Before Me
Faces I Shall See No More.

Oh, Not Lost, But Gone Before Us !
Let Them Never Be Forgot
Sweet Their Memory To The Lonely ;
In Our Hearts They Perish Not.

How Such Holy Memories Cluster,
Like The Stars When Storms Are Past ;
Pointing Up To That Far Heaven,
Where We Hope To Meet At Last.
