  *++Lyrics:|\\
Baby's gone, the cradle's empty!\\
Home is sad and empty now;\\
Nevermore we'll hear her prattle,\\
Kiss her fair and gentle brow.\\
All her little ways so childish\\
Now with sadness we recall;\\
Baby's gone, the cradle's empty!\\
Sadly now the teardrops fall!\\
Angels bore away our darling,\\
Like a flow'r she blooms above!\\
Baby's gone, the cradle's empty!\\
Sadly now the teardrops fall!\\
\\
Baby's gone, the cradle's empty!\\
Light and sunshine of our home!\\
In the mansions fair and golden\\
Now her little footsteps roam!\\
There our darling waits and watches,\\
All the loving ones to greet;\\
Baby's gone, the cradle's empty!\\
Oh, the joy when we shall meet.\\
Angels bore away our darling,\\
Like a flow'r she blooms above!\\
Baby's gone, the cradle's empty!\\
Oh, the joy when we shall meet!\\
\\
