Mona + 

She lived in sinful happiness + 

And died in pain, + 

But she danced in sunshine + 

And laughed in rain. + 

She went one summer morning + 

When flowers spread the plain + 

But she told my mother + 

She was coming back again. + 

The old folks made a coffin + 

And hid her deep in earth. + 

Seems like she said: My body + 

Brings new birth. + 

For sure there grew flowers + 

And tall young trees + 

And sturdy weeds and grasses + 

To sway in the breeze. + 

And sure she lived in growing things + 

With no pain + 

And laughed in sunshine + 

And danced in rain. + 
