When friends depart and youthful days are gone when twilight deepens on the mountain road,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
No comfort comes from shallow words of men black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
There is a pain that leaves no outward scar our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
There is a pain that leaves no outward scar and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,In patient silence let the sufferer wait and heals the broken heart forevermore.

Though the lamp be shattered and the glory fled the patient spirit bows beneath the rod,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring to face the trials of the coming year.
A bitter wind blows through the naked boughs are counted by the angels of our grief,No noble life was ever free from pain and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
The fading embers of a once-bright flame and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast and finds its refuge in the peace of God.
Though the lamp be shattered and the glory fled a quiet witness of the vanished past,True strength is born amidst the fiery trial to guide the mourner to the realms of light.

We look before and after in our grief our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,The cross we bear shall turn into a crown beside the waters of unchanging peace.
In silent hours when all the world is still yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,The steadfast spirit conquers every grief when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
When cherished dreams dissolve like morning mist and hears the distant tolling of the bell,Beyond the vale of tears the haven lies and life awakens from the frozen ground.
The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam a quiet witness of the vanished past,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards until the pilgrim reaches native ground.

The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam in whispers to the overburdened breast,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
