I had a little darling girl, / As fair as any flower; / She gladdened me a little while, / Then left me one dark hour! / I fain would lie down by her side / I'm lonely now, since Hettie died!

She lay within her cot at rest, / And softly drew her breath; / One look, one gasp, twas over then / She'd passed away in Death!

I'll often cry out in my dreams / "Oh wake! my darling, wake!" / I look into her little crib, / And think my heart will break!

They tell me she is happy now, / With holy babes above; / I know it all, but cannot calm / This yearning mother love! / I fain would lie down by her side / I'm lonely now, since Hettie died!
