   (continued from previous page)

   Now calm and peaceful be thy nest,
   My dear beloved child
   You are now among the Bright and Blest
   And I am here smiled.
   But still I will remember thee
   While here I do remain,
   And my spirit does get free
   Oh, come to meet me, Jane.
   I care not now for earthly woe,
   Or how dark it may prevail,
   Since cruel death has left you low,
   And sorrow tells its tale.
   And since, alas, we're doomed to part,
   Bright hope doth still remain,
   Thought you left me with a broken heart
   In Heaven I'll meet my Jane.
   Now farewell my little Jane,
   A lonesome, long adieu;
   In memory ford you shall remain,
   Thought gone from mortal view.
   And when my earthly toil is o'er,
   That God may blot each stain,
   Then we will meet to part no more
   My Darling little Jane.
