All, All is tending to the realms of darkness
And Over all death's mantle must be shaded
Yet the cold grave for me shall have no terrors,
For I can look beyond its fearful shade.
Even tho' 'tis black as midnight, – long & dreary
Altho' its sleep may be; – for who can say
What time the dead awaking from their slumbers
Shall ne'er pursue their heaven directing way.
When first the death hymn echoes thro' the valley
Even then perchance the mounting Soul is free:
Perhaps, When in the lifes fount the last life-breath trembles,
It wings it flight toward eternity.
Sooner or later shall the glorious spirit
Lighted by the Sun that shines on Canaan's shore
Fill its own throne in heaven both blest & blessing
And mourn no longer then & him no more.
Thou hand of life! O let Thy light illume me
While in this valley of mortality:
