Text by Ebenezer Smith, 1871 Grief sits upon the widow's brow Tears dim the orphan's eye From many lowly dwellings now Ascends the mourning cry And echo answers while they ask - "Oh God, why did she die?" Old Age leans heavy on his staff And Sorrow weeps alone And little children hush the laugh To speak of her that's gone And woe and want look up to Heaven Where she can hear their moan The Doon chants sadly as it flows Down to the mur'mring sea Its songsters, perched on leafless boughs Give forth no notes of glee And round each naked branch the breeze Makes mournful minstrelry Its flowers lie withered 'neath the pall Spread by the wintry blast And she, the fairest flower of all, Has fallen - the best - the last Alas! no Spring or Summer call Can raise her from the past Such loveliness is known to bloom But once beneath our skies But Faith looks upwards from the tomb And lo! the dead arise! Beyond the cloud, and mist, and gloom Where beauty never dies.
