Emma Smith: The wind through the cyprus made them sway And rolled the clouds back that winter day The sun shone through long enough to say "Your baby was here, but cannot stay." For there are more important things to do And she must add a gleam to heaven's hue To help brighten the pathway for one and all For through the darkness, great men fall!
This little spirit, so pleasant and fair Returned to the ones who were waiting there And when I walk out in the night divine I know one of the stars that shine is mine! She came to the earth just for a while Not long enough to see her smile For this little baby we loved so much Was just to precious for a mother's touch
