A mournful group this day remains
Within the walls of Funery.
Within the walls of Funery.
Can I forget that secret mien,
Farewel my father, best of men,
May heaven's joy to thee remain!
You revd. man of Funery.
Farewel my father, best of men,
May heaven's joy to thee remain!
You revd. man of Funery.
Oh mother! a name to me so dear,
How can I leave thy tender cares,
And leave a place so void of snares,
Far, far frae thee and Funery.
How can I leave thy tender cares,
And leave a place so void of snares,
Far, far frae thee and Funery.
Brothers don't yourselves conceal;
Sister of my love, farewel!
Thy tears suppress, thy sorrows quell,
Be happy while at Funery.
Sister of my love, farewel!
Thy tears suppress, thy sorrows quell,
Be happy while at Funery.
Archie, my lovely darling child,
Thy infant steps may heaven guide,
When I return, Oh! may I find
Thee smiling still at Funery.
Thy infant steps may heaven guide,
When I return, Oh! may I find
Thee smiling still at Funery.
No settled home on earth is found,
But all is pilgrimage around,
Farewel ye world of awful round;
Farewel, farewel, to Funery
But all is pilgrimage around,
Farewel ye world of awful round;
Farewel, farewel, to Funery
