Side by side they're sweetly sleeping, / Little loved ones, early blest, / Free from care and pain and sorrow / Oh! rejoice they are at rest.

One whose timid little foot fall / Now we listen for in vain / And whose voice, like bird notes singing, / Never will be heard again.

His blue eyes, like angel's beaming, / Never more will meet our own; / Oh, his absence makes most dreary / Our once cheerful, happy home.
