She's gone to quiet rest, / No more to suffer here; / She dwells among the blessed, / And no'er will shed a tear.

How peacefully did life depart, / To tranquil, sweet repose; / How beautiful the vital spark / Departed from earth's woes.

Ah!  who can tell the clime / Where that blest spirit dwells? / Or who can know the time / When we shall go ourselves?

Farewell, departed one; / How sudden thou wert taken; / We'll linger out this life alone, / And meet thee soon in Heaven.
