It is hard when our loved ones have reached their day,

When they say goodbye to all;

But harder by far when they pass away

With no goodbye at all.

Could we have been there at the hour of death

To catch the last sigh of his parting breath,

His last faint whisper we might have heard,

And breathed in his ear one loving word.
