First lines
(Dedicated to the memory of my little niece, Clare Hope, daughter of Mr. Albert E. and Mrs. Clara O. Morris, who passed away July 1, 1891)
Silently came the angel, A white-robed angel fair, And carried away our darling, Our beautiful baby Clare, Carried her home to the songland To dwell in its blissful bowers, And play with the infant cherubs, Who gather its fadeless flowers.
