Sternitzky, Laverne (In Memory of - 12 JAN 1917)

(In Memory of Baby Laverne Alfred Sternitzky)

A little life, four short weeks of gladness.

  Without one cloud of sorrow, in our strife.

Cut short by sudden gloom and wintry sadness.

  A little cut, empty, forlorn, forsaken,

Silent remembrance that he is not,--

  Gone—past our voice to lull or kiss or waken.

But a great trust irradiates our sorrow,

  That though today his name is writ in dust.

We shall behold it writ in heaven tomorrow.

  A little while and time no more shall never;

But we shall see him with his own sweet smile.

  And clasp our darling in our arms forever.
