-
We pass these sleepC
Beneath the shade where deep leaved boughsD
Bend o'er the furrows the Great Reaper ploughsD
And gentle summer winds in many sweepC
Whirl in eddying wavesE
The dead leaves o'er the gravesE
-
And the living sighF
Forgotten ones so soon your memories dieF
Ye never more may list the wild bird's songG
Or mingle in the crowded city throngG
Ye must ever dwell in gloomH
'Mid the silence of the tombH
-
And the dead replyF
God giveth us His life Ye dieF
Your barren lives are tilled with tearsI
For glory ye are clad with fearsJ
Oh living ones oh earthly shadesK
We live your beauty clouds and fadesK
