Goodbye my family, my life has passed,
But my love for you will always last;
Weep not for me, but courage take,
And love one another for my sake;
As time goes by and you all grow older,
My hand will rest upon your shoulder;
Do not be sad or weep for me,
Be happy my loved one,
When you think of me.
+
Gone from our home that smiling face,
The cheerful happy ways,
The heart that won so many friends,
In bygone happy days.
+
Her smiling way and pleasant face,
Are a pleasure to recall,
She had a kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet her,
Some day, we know not when,
To clasp her hand in a better land,
Never to part again.
