"One less at home!
The charmed circle broken - a dear face,
Missed day by day from its usual place,
But cleansed, saved, perfected by grace,
One more in heaven!

One less on earth!
Its pain, its sorrow and its toil to share,
One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear,
One more the crown of the blest to wear
At home in heaven!"6
