Across the barren fields of memory to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring beside the waters of unchanging peace.
The empty chair beside the hearth remains and darkness settles on the weary brow,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell and gently soothes the aching of the breast.

The heavy burden that the silent bear in whispers to the overburdened breast,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
The heavy shadow falls across the hearth and extinguishes the hope of yesterday,The bitter cup shall pass from us at last until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
There is a pain that leaves no outward scar rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and heals the broken heart forevermore.
How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk and pine for blessings that can come no more,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
