When Autumn Leaves Fall

When autumn’s leaves shall gently fall

Unmarked to mother earth,

The soul hear our Father’s call

And rise to heavenly birth.

No burning tear, no mournful sigh,

Can pass the silent tomb;

There love’s sweet blossoms ne’er shell die

But find a dearer bloom.

No painful thought, no anxious care,

Can e’er invade thy rest;

The bliss above thy better share,

In Heaven’t own glory blessed

Rest ! Brother ! Rest ! Thy journey o’er

Immortal life begun;

Now safely reached a calmer shore,

Beyond a changin sun !
