Kiss me, mother - you too, sister,
And forever fare thee well.

For worldwide hopes lie hidden there.

Is buried with our darling boy.

And left this sinful world;

And has flown through the gates of pearl.

Where all is joy, peace, and love.

Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise could bloom.
