    For we must toil this autumn day
    A Prayer after a death
    I
    I am home in heaven dear ones. O so happy & so bright. There is joy and beauty. In this everlasting light
    II
    All the pain & grief is over. Every restless tossing passed. I am now in piece forever. Safely home in heaven at last
    III
    Did you wonder I so calmly. Trod the valley of the shade. O but jesus love illumined. Every dark a fearful glade.
