Fowk tell'd us t'wor a sin to grieve,

For God's will must be best;

But when yo've lost a child yo've loved,

It puts yor Faith to th' test.

We pick'd a little bit o' graand,

Whear grass and daisies grew,

An' trees wi spreeadin boughs aboon

Ther solemn shadows threw.

We saw her laid to rest, within

That deep grave newly made;
