We are sad and lonely
now,
And every joy seems fled.
Our Dear Beloved Sampson,
Is numbered with the dead.
His bright and laughing eyes are closed.
His hand in silence laid.
And all on earth of our joying son
Lies 'neath the willow shade.
He was a sweet and an affectionate son,
In loving kindness given.
That blossomed here one fleeting hour.
Henceforth to bloom in Heaven.
We will not murmur nor complain,
For He's an Angle there,
Nor would we bring him back again,
From land so bright and fair.
Sleep on Dear Sampson and take they rest,
Thy sufferings now are o'er,
Oh should we meet thee with the Blest,
To dwell forever more.
