In Memoriam C'mposed by Joseph Von Weber im tiie death of his parents in the yi-ar IS'J!*, wliosu deaths occurred only two weeks apart. Tiieir voices aie silent. Their hearts are now cold. Whose smdes and whose welco ii Oft met us of old. We mi.ss and we mourn them In silence unseen, And'dwe.l on the memory Of oys that have been. It w.is hard for us all To see them both go, but it WIS God's will That it now should be so. .\nd now when they're free From both [lain aud from fear We still read the old chapters They both loved so dear. Oh may their dear memories Keep us from wrong. We are thankful to God That He left us so long. It IS twenty long years Since they did depart, But there's still a green spot For them both in my heart.
