rr,
H Tien / /$/ leave you
for a little while,
Please go on bravely
with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name,
Live on and do all things the. same
Spend not your life in empty days,
But fill each waking how-
in useful ways
Reach out your hand
in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you
atui hold you near.
