Shed not your mournful tears for me

Fret not at my hour to go

Smile for the joyful years we shared

This gift only God could bestow

Uplift your spirit sweet friend until I meet you again

Farewell till we're once again together in Heaven

Hereafter when you think of me

If you believe in what you see

Close your eyes and I will appear

Remember me whene'er you want me near

Just close your eyes to dream and I'll appear

My dear one I hope you'll soon see

There is no need now to cry over me

For me
