IN MEMORIAM
Softly at night the stars are gleaming
Above a lonely grave.
Where there sleepeth without dreaming
The one we loved but could not save.

Softly into death she faded
Like a star when morn appears
As we stood in silence round her
Gazing at her thru our tears.

Thou art gone but not forgotten
And there dawns another year
In the lovely hours of thinking
Thoughts of you are ever here.

Gone dear mother, gone forever,
How we’ll miss your loving face
But left us to remember
None on earth can take your place.

God has given, God has taken
Let these words our comfort be
And remember that in Heaven
You are waiting us to greet.
