HERE, SWEET, WE LAY

Here, sweet, we lay

Thy sorrow and pain,

Earth will resolve them to gladness again.

Lily-white hands

To lilies shall grow;

Breath of thy body in breezes shall blow.

Languor and grief,

These Death could slay;

God took the portion which cannot decay.

Thou hast thy joy,

We have thy pain;

Flame of a soul I shall know thee again.
