My footsteps tread
Lie low and lone the silent dead
Beneath the turf, beneath the mold
Forever dark, forever cold
And my eyes cannot hold the tears
That memory hoards from vanished years
For time, and death, and mortal pain
Give wounds that will not heal again
Let me remember half the woe
I've seen and heard and felt below
And heaven itself, so pure and blessed
Could never give my spirit rest
Sweet land of light. thy children fair
Know naught akin to our despair
Nor have felt, nor can they tell
What tenants haunt each mortal cell
What gloomy guests we hold within
Torments and madness, tears and sin
ย
Well, may they live in ecstasy
Their long eternity of joy
At least we would not bring them down
With us to weep, with us to groan
No, earth would wish no other sphere
To taste her cups of sufferings, dear
She turns from heaven with a careless eye
And only mourns that we must die
ย
