"Will the circle be unbroken?" and "can the circle be unbroken"... The circle is the family, both earthly and of Heaven, and yes, the circle is broken (the family circle) and by meeting up yonder (in Haven,)by and by (not now but at some future time,)the family will be reunited and the circle unbroken. Speaking of circles and dying, the Blue Sky Boys cut a song some yestertime that has a passage : "There's grief within the circle, as the old clock tolls the hour..." referring to a loss that soon is to occur.
