One bird has flown, one flower is dead,
One leaf has left our tree. One Heaven sent blessing has gone back To vast eternity. Pain never more will shade his brown, Nor tears his sweet black eyes, Nor grief the pure and loving lips Whose musical replies. Our Father, who in tender love, Has taken from our care One whom our weak hearts loved so much, Regard our tearful prayer.
