I wept all that night, and by spells ever since,

To God I cried, He supported me,

God has held me up, through all my trials,

And all I have to lean upon, in every cause.

If I had died and left her, to mourn, and suffer,

And could have known I should die and leave her,

I should have felt a great deal worse to leave her,

Than I do now, that she is gone before me.

I must be as reconciled as I can,

To part with Poor little dear,
