Darken round this mortal lamp;

Never more shall noon-day's glance

Search this mortal countenance.

3Deep the pit, and cold the bed,

Where the spoils of death are laid;

Stiff the curtains, chill the gloom,

Of man's melancholy tomb.

4Look aloft! The spirit's risen--

Death cannot the soul imprison;

'Tis in heaven that spirits dwell,
