The Sundial - The Spirits of the Dead Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Thy soul shall find itself alone
  • 'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
  • Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
  • Into thine hour of secrecy.
  • Be silent in that solitude,
  • Which is not loneliness for then
  • The spirits of the dead, who stood
  • In life before thee, are again
  • In death around thee, and their will
  • Shall overshadow thee be still.
  • The night, though clear, shall frown,
  • And the stars shall not look down
  • From their high thrones in the Heaven
  • With light like hope to mortals given,
  • But their red orbs, without beam,
  • To the weariness shall seem
  • As a burning and a fever
  • Which would cling to thee for ever.
  • Now are thoughts thou 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 breeze, the breath of God, is still,
  • And the mist upon the hill
  • Shadowy, yet unbroken,
  • Is a symbol and a token.
  • How it hangs upon the trees,
  • A mystery of mysteries!
