YES holy be thy resting place
Wherever thou mayst lie
The sweetest winds breath on thy face
The softest of the sky
Kind dreams and thoughts of love
Though I no more may watchful bend
Thy loved repose above
And will not heaven itself bestow
A beam of glory there
That summers grass more green may grow
And summers flowers more fair
Farewell farewell tis hard to part
Yet loved one it must be
I would not rend another heart
Not even with blessing thee
Go we must break affections chain
Forget the hopes of years
Nay grieve not wouldst thou remain
To waken wilder tears
