YEARLY, YEARLY drifting on,
Drifting by deaths river,
Drearily. drearily sounds a moan,
In our ears forever;
TearfuIly, tearfully faces pale,
Clean beneath the wave;
Fearfully, fearfuIly comes a vail
From their opening grave.
YEARLY, wearily drifting on,
The joyous and the signing;
YEARLY drifting side by side,
The living nd the dying.
Hopelessly weak Rnds clasped in woe,
Fearfnly stern hearts bowed,
Carefully dim eyes vainIy strive
To pierce the wrathfui cloud.
Yearly, YEARLY drifting on,
Darkness all around;
Drearily, drearily souls foriorn,
FearfnlIy, fearfulIy bound;
Dashing and wailing. surging and loapIng,
Waters wildly flaming;
Moaning and signing, bitterly crying,
Restless spirits roaming.
Yearly, YEARLY drifting or,
Drifting by Deaths river,
Drearily many love is lost
In its waves forever
Mournfuiiy, mournfulIy lips are chilling,

Hearts are growing old.

Where the sunbeams dwell.
Thy sweetness has vanished
As the shadows of even
And the charm Of life banished
Like the dew drops Of heaven.

And meath nay sad willow
Rear roses tomorrow.
Come on the soft wing
OF zephyrs at even,
With the od"rs Of spring,
And the music Of heaven.
