  Lips to lips in rapture pressed,— Dearest secret of the breast In a moment all confessed;— Love is best; love is best! Worn with care, by pain oppressed,— Empty arms and aching breast,— Longing for release and rest;— Death is best; death is best! Home at last! O welcome blest! Heart to heart our loved ones pressed,— Of eternal life possessed;— Heaven is best! heaven is best!
