A Poem For The Dead

Grace and peace be yours, the dead

Greet me with open arms, silently crying

Ever faithful on to me, even when you are dead

You, whom I loved

My joy and crown

If you still were here

May your spirit rest

Rejoice, your soul, is free

Blessed be and peace to you

And love with faith from him

My undying love

(your) glory is like the flowers of the field

Like roses will fall, their remembrance is forever

The lord is yours

I shall not want a past that now is lost

Silence and grief, my heart is lone

I cry for you, my love

I breathe, for you, I live for you

I will long rue you, too deeply to tell

A wreath - my farewell

I rue you - grief bites hard

Tears now flow for you
