And your warm breath on my cheek,

And I still keep listening for the words

You never more may speak.

’Tis but a step down yonder lane,

And the little church stands near,

The church where we were wed, Mary;

I see the spire from here.

But the graveyard lies between, Mary,

And my step might break your rest;

For I’ve laid you, darling, down to sleep,
