Praises are heard not by the dead
Roses they cannot see
Let us not wait until souls have fled
Generous friends to be

Folks are forgiven when they lie
Cold in their narrow bed
Let us forgive them 'ere they die
Now should the words be said

Give me the roses while I live
Trying to cheer me on
Useless are flowers that you give
After the soul is gone
After the soul is gone
