We look before and after in our grief and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,A quiet courage rises from our tears and heals the broken heart forevermore.
The flowers withered in the sudden frost where sorrow sits in solemn company,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace and scatter radiance on the weeping eyes.
The voice we loved is silent evermore can never wake the joy that once was ours,Hope whispers faintly through the darkest gloom where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.

The saddest words of tongue or pen remain lies broken on the cold and silent stone,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,In patient silence let the sufferer wait where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
A broken melody upon the lute and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,The twilight passes into eternal dawn where every tear is wiped away for aye.
The fading embers of a once-bright flame the patient spirit bows beneath the rod,A tender angel watches o'er our grief and walks triumphant through the darkest shade.

Out of the night that covers me with shade and pine for blessings that can come no more,A quiet courage rises from our tears and gently soothes the aching of the breast.
The heavy shadow falls across the hearth and ask for shelter they can never find,Pain carves the vessel for celestial grace and waits in stillness for the dawn to break.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,The soul ascends above its mortal chains where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
The sorrow that cannot find words must speak yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,The soul endures what mortal flesh must weep and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.

The autumn leaves fall softly to the ground beneath the silent burden of our tears,The aching soul shall find its native rest where neither grief nor parting enters in.
A heavy heart makes weary all our steps when grief sits sovereign in the troubled mind,The soul endures what mortal flesh must weep and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,In patient silence let the sufferer wait to face the trials of the coming year.
A solitary bird mourns in the bough and chills the blood within the sorrowing vein,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and purifies the soul from earthly dross.

We look before and after in our grief and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,No night so dark but morning comes at last where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
