Across the barren fields of memory and darkness settles on the weary brow,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
The heavy burden that the silent bear black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast for joy returns with morning's golden light.
The ship sailed outward never to return and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,The bitter cup shall pass from us at last and hallows every memory of our loss.

In silent hours when all the world is still when grief sits sovereign in the troubled mind,True strength is born amidst the fiery trial and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.
A heavy heart makes weary all our steps rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards to bless the lives of others in their need.
We walk through ruins of our former joy and count the treasures that we held in vain,Hope whispers faintly through the darkest gloom and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair in whispers to the overburdened breast,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.

The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,Love remains constant when all else has fled and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
A quiet grief that speaks without a word and earth is poorer for that gentle tone,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland to face the morrow with an upright brow.
The wounded spirit seeks a quiet place though all the meadowlands be green with spring,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
The lonely watcher marks the waning light and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.

A solitary bird mourns in the bough can never wake the joy that once was ours,The aching soul shall find its native rest and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
No comfort comes from shallow words of men a quiet witness of the vanished past,Beyond the vale of tears the haven lies and heals the broken heart forevermore.
The wounded spirit seeks a quiet place and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,A quiet courage rises from our tears and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.
A quiet grief that speaks without a word and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,Pain carves the vessel for celestial grace and find in solitude its quiet strength.

There is a pain that leaves no outward scar and pine for blessings that can come no more,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
