Little Cora was our darling / Our pet, our joy, our pride; / But early in the morning / Of youth, our Cora died.

Our hearts they seem nigh breaking, / To think that she has gone, / And left us here so lonely, / To think, to weep and mourn.

A more angelic flower / Did never bud or bloom; / But 'twas not in our power / To save her from the tomb.

We'll try and cease our weeping, / For she has gone to rest; / Yes, there amid the greetings / Of angels, she is blest.

'Twas God who lent her to us, / To cherish, love and keep; / 'Twas God who took her from us / We should not pine and weep

But try to live, that when we die, / To us it may be given, / To meet our Cora in the skies, / And dwell with her in Heaven.
