We were Ten; although half-grown old
Now, peep through clouds still
Long at a distance the sun does fill
Our minds, with happiness sold.
We were Ten!
Together we were dear to all often.

We were Ten; although half-grown old
Now, cross the river yet
The bridge under feet told-
'Once it your togetherness must let'.
We were Ten!
Together a story, unwritten.

We were Ten; although half-grown old
Now, see the children stiffly play
And remember- - 'mid ground we did lay
Not to waste, but use better time
And realization did cast the chime.
We were also bold!

We were Ten; although half-grown old
Now, believe in the God every step
Sorrowfully, silently I pray
'O God, let see them way'
And in vain or late we weep
For, our story still untold.
