May no sorrows come DER thy fair young

May the years hold nanght to make

When severed wide by fate's decree,
Our lives shall drift apart,
May we treasure still those loving friends

May our friendships all be true.
May the flowers Of love forever bloom,
In beauty here for you.
In future years when the shadows wave,
Above the emerald sod,

Beside my lonely grave.
May all the blessings of this fair life,
Attend your steps my friend,
May Heavens choicest blessings dwell,
With thee till life shall end.
