Farewell, dearest Brother, O! Farewell!
‘Tis hard for us to let thee go-
O’ the agony of our hearts no tongue can tell,
The sorrow of our hearts no one can know.
But while we weep we know
That thou art an angel above –
Freed from thy toils here below,
And dwelling in that bright world of love!
Farewell, dearest Brother! Again-
Soon we’ll meet thee in Heaven above;
A bright crown of glory we’ll gain,
And an eternity of unending love.J.F.T.
