My heart grows sad, at thoughts Of thee,
For loved ones lost, are far away,
Iasking in Heavens eternal day.

Alas they are goRg-fny loved oues gone,
Why am LETT here, sad, alone.

Bright, happy days. My heart still clings,
To those last hours, those childhood hours,
When round liie's path were sweetest flowers
Oh come again, and bring with thee,
My mother, brother back 10 me,
No more my heart shall sorrow know,

Yes, well know, they'll come no moro,
Those halcyon days-lovel days of yore,
Still will love and sadly mourn
Those by-gone hours-iorever gone.
