Under the willow,
Earth for her pillow,
Sadly we’ve laid her to rest;
While we are weeping,
Sweetly she’s sleeping,
Calm is the once troubled breast.
 
''But we will meet thee,''
''Once more will greet thee,''
''Perfect in beauty and love;''
''Yes, we’ll behold thee,''
''To our hearts fold thee,''
''When we rejoin thee above.''
 
Soft be thy pillow,
Under the willow,
Shading in pity thy tomb;
Soft fall the showers
On the bright flowers,
Yielding their fragrant perfume.
 
Tossed on life’s billow,
Oft to the willow,
Pensive at twilight we’ll rove;
Long to embrace thee,
Once more replace thee
In the dear circle of love.
 
Rest on thy pillow,
Under the willow,
What though thy beauty departs;
Tender affections,
Sweet recollections,
We will enshrine in our hearts.}}

Under the willow,
Earth for her pillow,
Sadly we’ve laid her to rest;
While we are weeping,
Sweetly she’s sleeping,
Calm is the once troubled breast.

But we will meet thee,
Once more will greet thee,
Perfect in beauty and love;
Yes, we’ll behold thee,
To our hearts fold thee,
When we rejoin thee above.

Soft be thy pillow,
Under the willow,
Shading in pity thy tomb;
Soft fall the showers
On the bright flowers,
Yielding their fragrant perfume.

Tossed on life’s billow,
Oft to the willow,
Pensive at twilight we’ll rove;
Long to embrace thee,
Once more replace thee
In the dear circle of love.

Rest on thy pillow,
Under the willow,
What though thy beauty departs;
Tender affections,
Sweet recollections,
We will enshrine in our hearts.
