Once again the reaper, with silent tread,
In the still, gray dawn of day;
Has entered our midst, without warning or fear,
And taken our boy away.

Taken him just in manhood's pride,
Just when he seemed most dear;
Just when the laurels he strove to win
Shone on his brow so clear.

But we know he is safe in that beautiful land,
Free from all sorrow and care,
Where so many loved ones, we scarce them can count,
Were waiting to welcome him there.

And some day again, though we know not when,
But 'twill be an endless joy.
Where face to face, at that great white throne,
We'll meet our darling boy.

Funeral from the residence of his brother, Sergt. Robert E. Lee, 815 4th street southeast, on Monday, February 3 at 2 p.m., thence to 5th Baptist Church, E street, between 4 1/2 and 6th streets southwest. Relatives and friends invited to attend. Interment at Congressional cemetery."
