    The flowers run wild—the flowers we sowed Around our garden tree ; Our vine is drooping with its load , 1 Oh ! call him back to me ! He would notliear thy voice , fair child ! Me may not come to thee ; The face that once like spring-time . smiled .

    Oh earth no more thou'lt see . A rose ' s brief , bright life of joy ^ Such unto him , was given ; Go ! thou must play alone , my boy ! Thy brother is in Heaven . And has he left his birds and flowers ? And must I call in vain ? And through the long , long summer hours , Will he not come again ?
