The night is dark and evermoreA
The thick drops patter on the paneB
The wind is weary of the rainB
And round the thatches moaneth soreA
Dark is the night and cold the airC
And all the trees stand stark and bareC
With leaves spread dank and sere belowD
Slow rotting on the plashy clayE
In the God's acre far awayE
Where she O God lies cold belowD
Cold cold belowD
-
And many a bitter day and nightF
Have pour'd their storms upon her breastG
And chill'd her in her long long restG
With foul corruption's icy blightF
Earth's dews are freezing round the heartH
Where love alone so late had partH
And evermore the frost and snowD
Are burrowing downward through the clayE
In the God's acre far awayE
Where she O God lies cold belowD
Cold cold belowD
-
Those eyes so full of light are dimI
And the clear chalice of her youthJ
All sparkling up with love and truthJ
Hath Death drain'd keenly from the brimI
No more can mortal ear rejoiceK
In the soft music of her voiceK
No wistful eye through tears of woeD
Can pierce down through the heavy clayE
In the God's acre far awayE
Where she O God lies cold belowD
Cold cold belowD
-
A star shines sudden from the skyL
God's angel cometh pure and brightF
Making a radiance through the nightF
Unto the place where mute I lieL
Gazing up in rapt devotionM
Shaken by a deep emotionM
And my thoughts no longer goD
Wandering o'er the plashy clayE
In the God's acre far awayE
Where she O God lay cold belowD
Cold cold belowD
-
God's angel ah I divinely brightF
But still the olden grace is thereC
The soft brown eyes the raven hairC
The gentle smile of calm delightF
That could such peace and joy impartH
The veil is rent from off my heartH
And gazing upward well I knowD
The rain may beat upon the clayE
In the God's acre far awayE
But she no longer lies belowD
Enshrouded by the frost and snowD
Cold cold belowD
