Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into hour of secrecy:
Be silent in that solitude
Which is not loneliness
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again

In death around thee and their will
Shall then overshadow thee: be still.

Now are thoughts you shalt not banish
Now are visions ne'er to vanish
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more -- like dew-drop from the grass

The night though clear shall frown
And the stars shall look not down,
From their thrones in the Heaven,
With light like Hope to mortals given
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee forever

Now are thoughts you shalt not banish
Now are visions ne'er to vanish
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more

The breeze the breath of God is still
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy shadowy yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!
