She leaves a husband and daughter to survive her.
Day by day we saw her falling,
As the summer days went by,
And our hearts were sad and lonely
When we saw she must die.
We loved our wife and mother. She's sleeping,
Earthly cares are hers no more;
Safe within the angel's keeping,
With our son and brother gone before.
But her heart seemed fondly clinging
To the blessed promise given.
"I'm not afraid," she whispered,
"For 'tis but a step to Heaven."
