Every heart Is strung with fears,
Woe are we woe are We!
All the light hath left the skies,
And the living awe-struck crowds
See above them only clouds
And around them only sllrouds.
All the terrible Farewells
Woe are they! woe are they.
When last words sink into means
While life's trembling vcsper-bells
Oh, my God! woe are wei
Ring the awful undertoneS!
Not sun In any day
In the nighttime not ray
And the dying pass away!
Dark! so dark! above, below
Oh, my God woe are we!

Woe are they! woe are we!
Hot with dread and deadly wrath;
Life and Love lock AIMS ia death,
