  1. Thou art gone my sister darling,
    To that land beyond the grave
    Where men's troubles find a leading
    Where no earthly storms rise
    As you join in the blessed chorus
    With a pure Angelic voice
    Let us think and see thee o'er us
    Banish sorrow and rejoice
    There in the tearful valley,
    Tis but nature to regret,
    Where some loved one leaves the circle
