When I must leave you
for a little while,
Please go on bravely
with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name,
Live on and do all things the same-
Spend not your life in empty days,
But fill each waking hour
in useful ways-
Reach out your hand
in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will confort you
and hold you near.
