DEAR LITTLE HANDS.
Copyright, 1877, by White, Smith & Co.

Under the snowdrifts so silent and white
Those dear little hands lie in quiet to-night,
Evermore folded in slumber; to me
Caressing and playful they once used to be;
But now they are lying under the snow,
Dear little hands, I loved them so.

Chorus.
Day-time or night-time in life's varied hours
I miss them as birds miss the sunshine and showers,
For now they are lying under the snow,
Dear little hands, I loved them so.

All through the night-time how lonely it seems
That no little hands wake me up from my dreams,
Day-time or night-time in life's varied hours
I miss them as birds miss the sunshine and showers,
For now they are lying under the snow,
Dear little hands, I loved them so.-Chorus.

Hands of my darling, long vanished from me,
That used to clasp mine in their innocent glee;
When earth is fading and breaking life's bands,
I'll clasp them, I know then, those dear little hands,
Thus crossing death's river safely we'll go,
Dear little hands, I loved them so.-Chorus.
