Fled is the sunlight from our hearts, / Dreary our hearth so lone; / Oh! how we miss his cheerful smile, / And the music of his tone.

Ah! can it be that eye is closed, / Which beamed with love replete, / And that we ne'er again may list / For the coming of his feet?

Oh! how we long once more to smooth / His soft and shining hair; / How vain! he roams Elysian fields, / Kept by the Shepherd's care.

Among the Savior's jewels / There'll be no brighter gem, / For He ne'er chose a purer one / To deck His diadem.

In Eden's blissful garden / He'll keep our bud, so fair; / And when 'tis ours to pass from earth, / Oh! may we meet him there.
