The mourning card
From the funeral card
There is no Death! what seems so is transition;
This life of Mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
In Loving Remembrance of
Otto Kohlman,
Died July 13, 1889.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
