Rest happy spirit we would (also) recall
There back to life, and all its woes again
Yet loved all ...memories they lull
In secret tears, and many in heartfelt pain (?).

Day after (day) in quick succession move
Week after week rolls on and glides away
Month after Month yet pressing still will pray
Thine image in our legends (?) will never decay.
