In Loving Remembrance of Matilda J. Chaplin
Life's duty done, as sinks the day,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While Heaven and earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when he dies.

Memories bound to DNA,
Of lovers joined in wedded bliss,
Of children born along the way,
Of a husband's strong embrace and kiss: Life's duty done, as sinks the day.
The distant tears in matter's eyes,
The echoes of faith's story told,
A grave in which the dust now lies,
That held a soul of purest gold: Light from its load the spirit flies.
In realms where death does not hold sway,
She soars with white winged seraphim,
And in paradise kneels to pray,
For our sins to be forgiven: While Heaven and earth combine to say,
Blest are the tears a mother cries,
Blest are the prayers she intones,
Blest the grave where her body lies,
The tomb that protects her sacred bones: How blest the righteous when he dies.
