Gustav:
Born at Rostock, Germany.
No pain, no grief, no anxious fear
Can reach our loved one sleeping here.
Babies:
Our darling ones have gone before,
To greet us on the blissful shore.
Anna:
Born in Bremen, Germany.
The heart's keen anguish
Only those can tell
Who've bid the dearest
And best farewell.
Inscription:
We miss thee from our home, dear parent,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
