Sad and Sudden was the call
Of Mother, so dear, beloved by all;
It was a bitter grief, a shock severe,
To part win one we loved so dear.
Oh, Lord, keep green the grave that lies
Beneath the wide and starry skies.
Keep sweet the sleep and give her rest,
Whose hands are folded o'er her breast.
Forgotten to the world by some you may be,
But, Mother, dear to our memory
You will always be.
