Weep not for me relations dear

Nor mourn my early fate

I quit this transitory Sphere

For an Immortal State

Deprived of life in bloom of youth

In view of prospects great

A sad memento of the truth

Of Life's uncertain date

Tho now I mingle with the dust

And Worms my flesh devour

My Soul shall dwell among the just

When Time shall be no more

For as in Adam all must Die

I'm only gone before ye

And trust through Christ's redemption

Shall rise in endless glory
