Montgomery
Montgomery
Leave her here upon the hillside amongst the trees
And the markers and flowers where the dove did flee
The peaceful river flows by and the dogwood blooms
Where breathlessly she sleeps in the midst of my gloom
My tears only disturb the sweet scene of her rest
The leafs are at their richest, the sky at its best
The earth at its sweetest, its leaves of gold and red
Are falling ever so softly all around her bed
Let me go home and leave her in her estate
Without a tear; and not looking back at the gate
Oh let me go back home where she will be no more
Step up on the porch and slowly open the door
There’ll be no sound of her voice; no smile from her face
But her song will go on and flowers in her place,
Will beautifully smile and so gently ease my pain
She is with me still; even through the pouring rain
And though tears come again, from my eyes they bloom
And my heart grieves in silence in my darkened room
It is all in heaven’s plan till He comes again
To me it’s darkness; it’s morning to her and Him
