lyrics

This lovely bud, so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Came just to show how sweet a flow’r
In paradise might bloom.

The tear we shed, though in secret it rolls,
Shall keep her memory green in our souls.

Why was it so? It seemed so sweet
To have him with us here.
We cannot tell, but god knows best,
Someday it will be clear.

We sorrow not as those who have no hope.

My faith may darken as of will,
I shall not much deplore,
Since though art where the ills of life
