The stem broke and the flower faded.
When my final farewell to the world I have said,
And gladly lie down to my rest;
When softly the watchers shall say "she is dead,"
And fold my pale hands on my breast;
And when with my glorified vision at last,
The walls of that city I see;
Angels will then at the beautiful gate,
Be waiting and watching for me.
