In the motionless black of night,

Though my bleared eyes stare in the grave, for they see

Not even the glow-worm’s light;

Yet still I can see that to buried be

Is a sweet and a happy thing,

For I sing my Song in the House of Death,

And this is the Song I sing:

Welcome - slimy - worm - with - sightless - head -

Blindly - burrowing - in - the - fearful - night -

Happy - shouldst - thou - be - for - lack - of - sight -
