Joe-HELP A line was left out on vs. 4, where there are only 3 lines. The fourth line should be added:

To my heart that's clear-broken, if my darling is gone.
Jean, the missing line got swallowed by an incomplete line break. I found one more verse in "Celebration of Life," and I'm wondering it it's correct:
O if I had the money to do more than just feed them,
I'd give them good learning, the best could be found.
And when they'd grow up they'd be checkers and weighers,
And not spend their life drilling in the dark under ground.
