A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our hearts,
Which never can be filled.
And after a lonely heartache
And many a silent tear,
But always a beautiful memory
Of one we love so dear.
May the roads rise to meet you,
May the winds be always
At your back,
May the sun shine warm
Upon your face,
The rains fall soft
Upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow
Of his hand.
