Buy War Savings Stamps— IN MEMORY OF BABY KEES Hold her little shroud about her, Softest folds of snowy white; Grieving hearts must do without her, She is in the land of light. Clasp the tiny waxen fingers, O’er the peaceful slumbering breast; Close the tender eyelids gently, Mary Jean has gone to rest. Mary Jean has gone to rest Where no earthly cares annoy; In the mansions of the blest, Filled with pleasure, peace and joy. On her downy coffin pillow, Lay the darling little head; Lay the precious sleeper softly In her strange and lowly bed. Never more shall pain’s keen arrows Pierce that sweet and gentle form; She is safe from every evil, Safe from every earthly storm. To that blessed far off country, There your darling one has gone, Think not that she passed thru darkness, Wandering fearful and alone. Jesus loves the little children; He has borne her o’er the flood And has laid the treasure safely On the bosom of her God.
