Our Clyde is gone in life's early morning
And our hearts are shadowed in gloom
As we see his dear form pass the portals
Of the silent and darksome tomb
Never again shall we hear his gay laughter,
Nor join in his innocent glee:
Never again in the family circle
His dear loving face shall we see
The grass o'er his grave will be growing
As we journey on life's stormy way;
But we know that again we may meet him
In the light of eternal day.
But though in the grave we have laid him
His spirit is joined by the blest;
And from Heaven his dear voice is calling
Come with me and fine perfect rest.
It is sad that one we so cherished
Should be taken so soon from our home;
But the joys that do not parish
Can live in memory alone.
The few years he spent with us
And the going of our dear Clyde,
Only make the ties more strong
Over on the other side.
