                       Farewell my husband and my children dear,
                       No sighs nor griefs for me: suppress your tear;
                       To all farewell, receive this last adieu;
                       In realms of bliss, my thought shall visit you.
                       As up from infancy to youth I grew,
                       Fair were my prospects—all delightful new;
                       New joys transporting did my mind engage,
                       As thus I travelled on life's busy stage.
                       But ah! the cold and palsied hand of death
                       Laid hold and preyed upon my vital breath;
                       No healing balm, nor art, nor skill was found
                       To give relief, or cure the mortal wound.
                       With cheering hope I wait to meet my doom,
                       When called by Jesus from the silent tomb;
                       Then on the wings of faith I'll calmly soar
                       To meet my God above: that God adore.
