2 Under the daisies my true love lies , With the pale mould for his pillow ; Quenched is thesglow of his love - lit eyes , And dreamles his rest ' neath the willow . Fair, fair , with a tender grace , The daisy and butter-cup lingers , Decking the sod of this hallow d place With tender and delicate fingers . 3 Though the bright sun of his life had set, When from my presence they bore him , Still he is living , and loves me yet, And still in my heart I adore him .
Roll , roll, ye resistless years , Gather us quickly , pale Reaper ; Safe are they sheltered from earthly fears , Each dreamless and motionless sleeper . 4 Tender and true was thy heart , my love, Loyal the troth that we plighted , Soon we shall meet in the mansions above , And meeting shall be reunited . Joy, joy to the wating heart, Life and its sorrows are over, Soon I shall clasp thee , no more to part , My tender and beautiful lover !
