Slide 1

Slide 2

All the street was bright with banners and flags

Slide 3

With a glittering troop of soldiers, with a long and courtly train

Slide 4

As the grand triumphal arches, stately rose before the sight

Slide 5

Behind a curtained window, lay a little, tender maiden

Slide 6

Upon the child's fair features there was marked, what seemed to say

Slide 7

And the mother, night and daytime, prayed with grief nigh wild

Slide 8

And the maiden from the window, looked upon the banners fair

Slide 9

Her mother overheard her, and again she knelt and prayed

Slide 10

'Darling mother, kiss me, for your Elsie understands'

Slide 11

Her mother bathed her forehead, and her fevered brow grew cool

Slide 12

Then her face seemed lit with glory, as she gazed towards the sky

Slide 13

'Mother, I must go to meet Him, see He smiles and beckons me'

Slide 14

Then the mother ceased her weeping, closed her darling's once bright eyes

Slide 15

And there, kneeling by the bedside, of her dead, her darling one

Slide 16

With the faith of that fair maiden, look beyond to glory there
