"All's well with me husband, though sadly you mourn,
For thy youthful companion, by death from the torn.
But the hand that afflicts thee will kindly sustain
Though parted at present we'll soon meet again
Oh grieve not, dear husband, my toils are all o'er.
Earth's sorrows and changes can't harm me no more.
The few fleeting moments of life to me given
Are changed for eternal enjoyment in Heaven.
Dear Friends though the grave will my body confine.
Neither coffin nor clay can enfeeble the mind.
When freed from the trails and afflictions of life.
I'll remain still the daughter, the friend, the wife."
