This lovely bud so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
just come to show how sweet flower
In paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And babe it blossom there.
There's no more need of singing,
When evening shadows creep,
The little cradles empty,
Our darling's gone to sleep.
Gone, but not forgotten.

Two more little lambs have gone
To dwell with Him who gave,

until, alas despite the kind and gentle care
bestowed upon her by her beloved relatives

Into her Saviour's arms.
