Here He# aa eld wemta who always
was tired.
For she lived In a house where help
wasn’t hired.
Her last words on earth were “Dear
friends: I’m going
Where washing ain’t done nor clean
ing nor sewing.
And everything will be just to my
wishes.
For where they dont’ eat there’s no
washing dlshee.
I’ll be where loud anthems will always
be ringing,
But having no voice. I’ll get rid of
singing.
Don’t mourn for me now, don’t mourn
for me never.
For I’m going to do nothing, for ever
and ever.
