A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
We have to mourn the loss of one,
We did our best to save
Beloved on earth, regretted still,
Remembered in the grave.
'Twas hard to part with one so dear
We little thought the time was near,
Farewell, dear one, your life is past
Our love for you till the end will last.
