A mourner's gone out from a sorrowing home,
While yet her eyes are wet with tears,
out from the uncertainties of earth,
Unto the bliss of eternity's years.
As a song that is sung with a glad refrain
Has been this loved one's life,
A sad respite, then reunited to her own again,
Is the loyal, faithful wife.
