All is quiet in our dwelling,
Lonely is our home today;
For the one who smiled to cheer US,
Has forever passed away.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Kindest thoughts shall ever linger
Round the grave where she is laid.
No one knows how much we miss her,
No one knows what bitter pain,
We have suffered since she left Us.
Home has never been the same.
