In mother's eyes streamed love
Child born into the world
Heart and lungs too weak to work
Hope's finger grasped in little hand
Today you died sweet infant
Heaven does not answer prayers
Can those prayers bring comfort now?
She's gone false consolation!
(Indifferent heaven Thee we curse
Oh that we might forget Thee
Unrequited love Thou mockest
Impotent Omnipotence!)
Tiny child we loved you
More than gods know how
Tonight a candle lit
To honour sister's passing
