Inscription
Yes, dear mother, thou hast gone
Thy aching breast is still
Thy father called thee to his home
Thy cup of joy fulfill
Tis hard to give our mother up,
But we will be resigned
To Him who is too wise to cry
Too good to be unkind
Day after day we saw her fade
And gently pass away
And often in our hearts we prayed
That she might longer stay
Farewell, farewell our mother dear
Life is sad without you here
Oh! may we meet in Heaven above,
Where all is joy and peace and love.
