Think of me as one at rest
For me you should not weep,
I have no pain, no troubled thoughts,
For I am just asleep
Those of you in this chapel who liked me,
I sincerely thank you all,
And those of you who loved me,
I thank you most of all.
And in the fleeting life-span
As time went rushing by,
I found some time to hesitate,
To laugh, to love, yes even to cry.
Matters it now if time began,
If time will ever cease
I was here, I used it all.
And now dear friends, I am at peace.
