| A slumber did my spirit seal;
|
| I had no human fears:
|
| She seemed a thing that could not feel
|
| The touch of earthly years
|
| The love for the dead, the love for the dead
|
| No motion has she now, no force
|
| She neither hears nor seas
|
| Rolled round earth’s diurnal course
|
| With rocks, and stones and trees
|
| The love for the dead, the love for the dead
|
| The Love, the love, the love, the love
|
| For the dead
|
| A slumber did my spirit seal;
|
| I had no human fears:
|
| She seemed a thing that could not feel
|
| The touch of earthly years
|
| The love for the dead, the love for the dead
|
| The Love, the love, the love, the love
|
| For the dead
|
| No time there was to say goodbye
|
| But what is left? |
| A tear, a sigh
|
| And the love for the dead
|
| The love for the dead
|
| The love for the dead, the love for the dead
|
| The Love, the love, the love, the love
|
| For the dead |
