I who loved you sadly miss you, God alone knows how my heart is aching for thee; I dream of you by night and think of you by day, No matter where you may be and wherever you may roam. You dwell in my heart at home, Leaves may wither,, dear brother, flowers may die, Friends may forget you, but never will I. I loved you most dearly but God loved you better, And He has taken you for himself. Moe mai ra e tama ite moenga roa. Me waiho noa au i muri nei. Tangi ai ki o haerenga He taina wairu noa te taina e moe tahi nei maua ite po Kua tae pea kite wa kua rite mou Haere irunga ito ingoa ia te whakapono. Ekore koe e wareware i au Ko tooku aroha hoki e rite ana Kite kare kare e kore nei he Mutu nga ote haruru ite ao ite po. —lnserted by your loving sister, Gipsy Cosgrove.
