The church-yard is thy bleak abode;

Thy pillow now, a cold grave-stone—

And there thou lov’st to grieve—alone!

VI.

The rain has drench’d thee, all night long;

The nipping frost thy bosom froze;

And still, the yewtree-shades among,

I heard thee sigh thy artless woes;

I heard thee, till the day-star shone

In darkness weep—and weep alone!
