There was once a little boy Who now has gone away. But whom we will all see Some happy day. This little boy’s name was ''Larry,” The one who with us could not tarry; But do not sigh. For the little one is living With his Master on high. Now Larry was a sweet little boy. And to his mother a great joy— To know him was to love him, For he had an appealing way And for him we are sad this day. [ Now he was only three, And was full of glee; But today he lies ever so still, And to us his lips are sealed; But somewhere in a beautiful, land, This little boy is happy again. And to his loved ones, who are in sorrow Rejoice, for you will see him on that happy day, When we all meet on that land far away. By Mabel Williams. YVirriTivr.
