Where the strawberries grow wild,
And there they've slept for many year,
The mother and the child.

We hoped aud prayed and tremoled more
For her than all the rest.

The gentle breath Of Spring
That scarce the yellow butterfly
Felt underneath its wing.
How hard we strove TO save her love
Like ours alone can tell
And only those knew what We lost

And there they sleep together. well
