“My noble son has gone to rest, With the green soil upon his breast.
And my sad heart was wrapt in gloom To see my child laid in the tomb.
But now I’ll calmly kiss the sod In meek submission to my God
and say his holy will be done though HE has robbed me of my son.
Nor will I grieve for he knows best and Henry now is with the blest.
Yes he has joined the ransomed throng and round the throne joins in their song.
Then will I strive to gain that shore when we shall meet to part no more.
