"Dearest father, lies I know
Pale and still and cold as snow,
And we say that he has fled,
He is numbered with the dead
Eyes are dim with falling tears
All are whispering sighs and prayers,
Yet could he but speak to us
He'd thus bid us love and trust
Cease your tears and let it lie
It was mine, but is not I
'Tis a tent which I am quitting,
'Tis a garment no more fitting.
