so fades the lovely blooming flower frail smiling solace of an hour so soon our transient comforts fly and pleasure only blooms to die is there no kind no healing hour to soothe the anguish of the heart spirit of grace be ever nigh thy comforts honor me to die let gentle patience smile on pain til dying hope revives again hope wipes the tear from sorrows eye and faith points up towards the sky so fades the lovely blooming flower frail smiling solace of an hour so soon our transient comforts fly and pleasure only blooms to die
