| Blossoms for forgetfulness that was all he said | B |
| So we sacked our gardens violets and roses | A |
| Lilies white and bluebells laid we on his bed | B |
| Soft his pale hands touched them tenderly caressing | C |
| Soft into his tired eyes came a little light | D |
| Such a wistful love look gentle as a blessing | C |
| There amid the flowers waited he the night | D |

| I would have you raise me I can see the West then | E |
| I would see the sun set once before I go | F |
| So he lay a gazing seemed to be at rest then | E |
| Quiet as a spirit in the golden glow | F |
| So he lay a watching rosy castles crumbling | C |
| Moats of blinding amber bastions of flame | G |
| Rugged rifts of opal crimson turrets tumbling | C |
| So he lay a dreaming till the shadows came | G |

| Open wide the window there's a lark a singing | C |
| There's a glad lark singing in the evening sky | H |

| Oh it's good to hear that when one has to die | H |
| I am horror haunted from the hell they found me | I |
| I am battle broken all I want is rest | J |
| Ah It's good to die so blossoms all around me | I |
| And a kind lark singing in the golden West | J |

| Flowers song and sunshine just one thing is wanting | C |
| Just the happy laughter of a little child | K |
| So we brought our dearest Doris all enchanting | C |

| In the golden peace time you will tell the story | I |
| How for you and yours sweet bitter deaths were ours | A |
| God bless little children So he passed to glory | I |
| So we left him sleeping still amid the flow'rs | A |
