     Why feel so sad, why shed a tear
     Even though he has taken from us one so dear?
     Cut down like alily, cut down to die.
     Your beautiful temple to occupy.

     Jesus himself has the messenger sent
     That for a season our hearts might in anguish be rent.
     We are sad, oh so sad, she has gone, but then,
     Oh how happy we'll be when we meet again.
          By Her Loving Husband and Parents.
