"Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'til God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
Human hands have tried to save thee,
Tender care was all in vain;
Holy angels came and bore thee,
From this weary world of pain.
Sister, thou wast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
