CHANGE.
They lived, to us the world seemed bright,
'Twas song and gladness everywhere,
The skies were clear, the flow'rs were gay,
And fragrance lingered in the air.
'Twas song and gladness everywhere,
The skies were clear, the flow'rs were gay,
And fragrance lingered in the air.
They died, and what a change is wrought
The world for us is wrapt in gloom,
And all our ways are lonely now,
For love outlives the deepest tomb.
The world for us is wrapt in gloom,
And all our ways are lonely now,
For love outlives the deepest tomb.
