We walk through ruins of our former joy and sings of absence to the empty sky,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and hallows every memory of our loss.

The fading embers of a once-bright flame yet feels the deepest agony of earth,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye to face the trials of the coming year.
A vacant chair beside the dying fire beneath the silent burden of our tears,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine where neither grief nor parting enters in.
The lamp flickers low within the room while bitter memories haunt the twilight air,No human hand can wipe those tears away and scatter radiance on the weeping eyes.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair and sings a dirge for summer's golden hours,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast for joy returns with morning's golden light.

Old memories knock upon the silent door and ask for shelter they can never find,The quiet grave receives our weary dust until he reaches freedom's open shore.
The flowers withered in the sudden frost where sorrow sits in solemn company,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.
The fading embers of a once-bright flame to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,Love remains constant when all else has fled and heals the broken heart forevermore.
The weight of sorrow bows the weary head can never wake the joy that once was ours,Pain carves the vessel for celestial grace until he reaches freedom's open shore.

In lonely chambers of the sleepless night and ask for shelter they can never find,A lonely courage arms the suffering heart until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
A bitter wind blows through the naked boughs and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
The voice we loved is silent evermore while bitter memories haunt the twilight air,No winter tempest lasts forevermore to face the morrow with an upright brow.
The flowers withered in the sudden frost and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,Hope whispers faintly through the darkest gloom where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.

When cherished dreams dissolve like morning mist in whispers to the overburdened breast,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.
A solitary bird mourns in the bough and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland and scatter radiance on the weeping eyes.
The heavy shadow falls across the hearth beneath the silent burden of our tears,The twilight passes into eternal dawn and looks beyond the sorrow of the dust.
The saddest words of tongue or pen remain are counted by the angels of our grief,Love remains constant when all else has fled to guide the mourner to the realms of light.

The ship sailed outward never to return to hide its weeping from the gaze of men,Time softens anguish into sacred calm and hallows every memory of our loss.
