GLEAMING through the silent church yard	A
Winter sunlight seemed to shed	B
Golden shadows like soft blessings	C
O'er a quiet little bed	B
	-
Where a pale face lay unheeding	D
Tender tears that o'er it fell	E
No sorrow now could touch the heart	F
Of gentle little Nell	E
	-
Ah with what silent patient strength	G
The frail form lying there	H
Had borne its heavy load of grief	I
Of loneliness and care	H
	-
Now earthly burdens were laid down	J
And on the meek young face	K
There shone a holier loveliness	K
Than childhood's simple grace	K
	-
Beset with sorrow pain and fear	L
Tempted by want and sin	M
With none to guide or counsel her	N
But the brave child heart within	M
	-
Strong in her fearless faithful love	O
Devoted to the last	P
Unfaltering through gloom and gleam	Q
The little wanderer passed	P
	-
Hand in hand they journeyed on	R
Through pathways strange and wild	S
The gray haired feeble sin bowed man	T
Led by the noble child	S
	-
So through the world's dark ways she passed	P
Till o'er the church yard sod	U
To the quiet spot where they found rest	V
Those little feet had trod	U
	-
To that last resting place on earth	W
Kind voices bid her come	X
There her long wanderings found an end	Y
And weary Nell a home	Z
	-
A home whose light and joy she was	K
Though on her spirit lay	A2
A solemn sense of coming change	B2
That deepened day by day	A2
	-
There in the church yard tenderly	C2
Through quiet summer hours	K
Above the poor neglected graves	K
She planted fragrant flowers	K
	-
The dim aisles of the ruined church	D2
Echoed the child's light tread	B
And flickering sunbeams thro' the leaves	K
Shone on her as she read	B
	-
And here where a holy silence dwelt	E2
And golden shadows fell	E
When Death's mild face had looked on her	N
They laid dear happy Nell	E
	-
Long had she wandered o'er the earth	W
One hand to the old man given	F2
By the other angels led her on	R
Up a sunlit path to Heaven	F2
	-
Oh 'patient loving noble Nell '	-
Like light from sunset skies	K
The beauty of thy sinless life	G2
Upon the dark world lies	K
	-
On thy sad story gentle child	S
Dim eyes will often dwell	E
And loving hearts will cherish long	D
The memory of Nell	E
