The family have the sympathy Of the
entire community
Little Freda slumber sweetly
How we miss you none can tell
Oh, twas hard to have you leave US
But with you all must be well.
In your little bed we've laid you
Darling Freda white and cold
Never more to smile upon US
Meier to cheer US as Of old.
Though our homes are sad and lonely
And our hearts are full of pain,
Well trust in God and he will bless US
And in Heaven we'll meet again.
