The fairest flowers that deck the field / Are soonest to decay; / And fondest hopes and deepest joys / Are swiftest borne away.

And 'tis not strange that thee, so young / Should be called forth and riven, / for thou wert sent but to the earth / Upon thy course to heaven.

Thou art gone as goes the flower, / Crowned with childhood's deepest spell / But thou are where Jesus is / Little Freddie, fare thee well!

Mary's Gone, but here's the impress / of her form in the crib, / And the pillow is indented / Where she laid her little head.

Mary's gone, the little playthings / Scattered, lie upon the floor, / But the busy little fingers / Come to pick them up no more

Mary's gone, the tiny dresses / Lie all folded in their place, / But the precious form that wore them / Never more shall we embrace.

Mary's gone, O mourning mother, / This seems all too hard to bear, / In the crib or in the play room, / Thou cans't find no baby there.

Mars gone, an angel took her / As she slept upon her bed, / And he bore her safe to heaven, / Though they told thee she was dead.  F.E.C.
