The flowers withered in the sudden frost and left our harbor empty in the rain,The quiet grave receives our weary dust until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
The voice we loved is silent evermore and left our harbor empty in the rain,A lonely courage arms the suffering heart to face the morrow with an upright brow.

A heavy heart makes weary all our steps when grief sits sovereign in the troubled mind,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye to face the trials of the coming year.
The cup of sorrow passed into my hands and sings of absence to the empty sky,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and hallows every memory of our loss.
The weight of sorrow bows the weary head where sorrow sits in solemn company,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland to face the morrow with an upright brow.
When cherished dreams dissolve like morning mist weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell for joy returns with morning's golden light.

A vacant chair beside the dying fire and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,The night is long but morning must return where every tear is wiped away for aye.
A vacant chair beside the dying fire as shadows lengthen on the lonely wall,No human hand can wipe those tears away when truth and beauty welcome home the soul.
Out of the night that covers me with shade our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,The steadfast spirit conquers every grief until the pilgrim reaches native ground.
The lamp flickers low within the room and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,A lonely courage arms the suffering heart and hallows every memory of our loss.

Old memories knock upon the silent door and count the treasures that we held in vain,The twilight passes into eternal dawn and find in solitude its quiet strength.
We look before and after in our grief the patient spirit bows beneath the rod,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love until the pilgrim reaches native ground.
Old memories knock upon the silent door and felt the darkness enter in our souls,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace and fills the spirit with immortal love.
The weight of sorrow bows the weary head and earth is poorer for that gentle tone,A deeper wisdom blossoms out of pain to guide the wanderer to the gates of grace.

The sorrow that cannot find words must speak rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
Old memories knock upon the silent door recalls the voice that spoke of ancient peace,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and turns the darkest sorrow into light.
The cold wind sighs across the barren moor and strips the forest of its summer crown,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine to guide the wanderer to the gates of grace.
The heavy burden that the silent bear and every footstep whispers of decay,Love remains constant when all else has fled and life awakens from the frozen ground.

The voice we loved is silent evermore and left our harbor empty in the rain,The wounded heart must learn to bleed alone and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.
