Fare you well for while, faded star
of our home;
Sweetly rest from all sorrow and
pain,
Till the Prince of the angels in triumph
shall come
And restore your lost glory again.
Let her rest-let her sleep where the
lone willows weep
And the blossoms of sweet summer
wave,
For we know there is One who her
ashes will keep,
And redeem her fair form from the
grave"
