Why do we weep? Why do we mourn? / What causeth sorrow and despair? / A friend has gone not to return! / A house has lost its brightest star.
Go, my companion, I would say, / Although this end to you is given, / His spirit now takes forth the sky / And tells her, all is drear, but heaven.
Weep not, dear children for tho' you've lost, / Your dearest lived and has been found / Remember, while you mourn your loss, / His troubles now are at an end.
Farewell, a little time and we, / who know thee well and loved thee here, / One after one shall follow thee, / As pilgrims through the gate of fear, / Which opens on eternity.
