User-Contributed Transcription thee at the dawning gray - But most beneath the lamp's pale beam - I miss thee from my side." I dreamed one night that you came home - It was a glad surprise - But it was rather rainy awakening to the reality.Sabbath Eve. A most delightful day and evening - I went to meeting in the P.M. and we both went this evening leaving the sleeping baby under Elisabeth's care. He did not wake while we were away, O I do so long for little Mayo sometimes and the tears come all at once, now and then when I look at Wilder, alone. Whose fate is most to be envied? Those who have done with life and are safe in Heaven, or his who lives, take life's pleasures & its sorrows & battle with its storms, its temptations
