There is no Death! What seems so is transition;

‘Tis hard to break the tender cord, when love has bound the heart,
‘Tis hard, so hard to speak the words, we must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee, in the peaceful grave’s embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished, ‘till we see thy heavenly face.
