Carried by the angels o'er,
To the other side.

But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill.

Gone and forgotten by some you may be.
But dear to my memory for ever you'll be;
If the grave were to open what changes you'd see,
But eternal rest is far better for thee.
Sleep in peace, oh, dearest brother.
Though we now thy loss deplore,
Fleeting time will soon be over,
Thou art only gone before.
