Dear grandma, could you speak to us,
And could you live again,
Our aching hearts would then be healed,
But this we wish in vain
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Our grief to deep to tell,
But time will come when we will meet,
And all to you will tell
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
Your sufferings are all o'er,
You have gone where sorrow never enters,
On the tearless shore.
Fondly loved by all who knew you,
Many farewell tears were shed,
Now your dreams of life are over,
And your gentle spirit fled.
