LIFE IS SO WONDERFUL, LIFE SUCH AS THINE,
DEATH CANNOT END IT, DEAR BROTHER OF MINE!
MORNING WILL COME AGAIN,
GILDING THE TREES,
SPRING NOTES WILL SOUND AGAIN SWEET ON THE BREEZE!THIS IS NOT DYING, MY BRAVE BROTHER DEAR,
THOU ART BUT CLIMBING UP OUT OF HERE,
OUT OF THY STRUGGLES AND OUT OF THY PAIN,
OUT WHERE WITH CHRIST LIFE WILL FLOWER AGAIN.
SO THEN GOOD NIGHT, BROTHER,
ONLY GOOD NIGHT;
TURN THY DEAR FACE TO THE MANSIONS OF LIGHT.
LIFE IS SO WONDERFUL,
LIFE SUCH AS THINE;
DEATH CANNOT END IT,
GOOD NIGHT, BROTHER MINE!
Dedicated to our brother,
