Has forever passed away.
Weep not mother: weep not, father;
All your weeping will be in vain;
Though Lizzie leaves us bowed in sorrow,
We will meet them all in joy again.
Do not mourn because we leave you,

All your weeping won't recall us,
Though your weeping eyes grow dim.

For world greatest hopes are hidden there.
