We sat beside her bedside Our hearts were crushed and sore; We did our duty to the end, 'Til we could do no more. In tears we watched her sinking, We watched her fade away, And though our hearts were breaking We knew you could not stay. She left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere. We never shall and never will Forget one so dear. For many years the family chain Was closely linked together, But oh! that chain is broken now, The main link gone forever.
