Dear Husband as thou sleepeth cold and still,
In the damp clay on the brow of the hill,
A wife and thirteen children too,
Are left to mourn the loss of you.
But soon the trumdets(*trumpets) echo may fall,
And wife, children, husband and all
May leave this wandering Vale below
And to the reaalms of glory go
