Leonard J. Lipton across the way
Has passed into eternal day,
And left a world of care.
And where the pines sighed soft and
low
They made a bed beneath the snow
And left the dear man there.
Leonard J. Lipton across the way -
We’ve heard the kind - voiced
neighbors say,
Was satisfied to go;
For suffering and toil and tears
And sorrow, lasting through the
years,
The man will never again know.
Leonard J. Lipton across the way
Has gone home into a land of day,
Of love and peace and light,
Where pain and woe and lies and sin
Will never dare to venture in,
And all is calm and bright.
But near his bed a woman stands
With aching heart and empty hands,
With lonely arms and breast;
She hears the tale of Paradise,
While snow is falling where he lies
On his eternal rest"
