DARLING boy, Sister's joy, With your loving smile, Kiss me now, On my brow, Stay with me awhile! He who has loved me, He whom I longed to see, Calls me away; I must not stay. He is near, True and dear, Darling, do not cry! Jesus too Loveth you, Loves you more than I. Kneel by my pillow here, Tell Him the sorrow, dear; He is so kind, This you will find. Angels bright, Robed in light, In that happy home, Singing wait At the gate, Till He bids me come. Soon, brother, I shall see Him who has died for me; I am so glad, Yet you are sad. Hymn and prayer We did share, Many an evening past; Jesus heard Every word, This may be the last. Ere next the light grows dim, I may be there with Him. Praising Him too, Waiting for you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RHOECUS by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL A FAREWELL TO LONDON IN THE YEAR 1715 by ALEXANDER POPE HESPERUS THE BRINGER by SAPPHO PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 49.
