/ bend me DER a lonely tomb
So fondly strewn with iOw'rs of10ve;
And thencein mournful, silent gloom,
My thoughts wing to the soul above.
How cherished now the bare recall
OF each faint trace that mem'ry holds,
Yet sad the thought beyond them all,
That icy shroud her form enfolds.
Six years marked on the scroll Of Time
Record her blissfuI, welded life
Death snatched away in sweetest prime
The tender mother, loving wife.
'Reft husband let thy sad tears flow
To ease thy crushed and broken heart,
For words are vain in hours Of woe,
No language solace can impart.
Afar across the swelling wave,
Two hearts are sent with sorrow deep.
Her aged parents this must brave
Not cen her grave DER which to weep.
Her home Of sunny girlhOOd's scene
Lies on the Ems most beauteous shore
There loved ones wall in anguish keen,
Alas Our MARY is no more.
All peace unto the spirit flown
Sweet peace to hearts in sorrow left I
The mother from her heavily home
Will guard her babes so sad bereft.
And when this pilgrimage is DER,
And death all earthly hopes shall blight,
May then on tlat far beaming shore,
EachreVered tie for e'er unite.
