SISTERS now our song waktu,
Though the saddest and the last,
For it tells of union shaken,
And sunny sky oercast
But the bow Of promise cleaning
VIII be painted on the shower
RAYS of gadness will be streaming
When the gathering shadows lower
We have passed swcethours together,
And their memory, though We part,
We will keep undimmed for ever,
And enshrine it in our heart.
Land or ocean NAV divide MS,
Yet our love will be the same
Nought thar can will betide us
Fer shall quench the sacred flame
Lfes swift waters rushing,
Bearing upon their tide,
Now in gentle murmurs gushing,
Now in angry waves they ride
Yet bright visions W i'll we cherish,
Though our path be laid in gloom;
If on earth they fade and perish,
Hops shall live beyond the tomb
