The village Sexton.

The day IS done. the sun is down,
The dismal night is drawing near;
Across the dark fields, from the town,
The tolling bell hear.
Another soul has passed away;
Another heart will beat no more,
The village sexton died to-day;
His work Ut life is DER.
The hands that tollcd the hell so long
Arc folded on his litclrss breast,
He soon must lie amid the thronE
lie helped to place at rest.
A rusty suit ofblack he wore;
Each Sabbath morn lie used to stand
Behind the ancient entry door,
The Dcllropc in his hand.
He rang the merry marriage he'll
To greet with hope the hlushing bride;
Hctollcd tie slow and solemn kncll
When dearly loved ones died.
When winter winds blew sharp and
shrill,
When summer roses were in bloom,
He drove the dark hrarsc Oct the hill!
That bore them TO the tomb.
The bell will toll he oft hath to,lcd,
And worldly customs be Tic same
When otucr hands will heap the mold
Above his l,rlcss frame.
We all must die. 'Tis vain to weep,
The proud, the poor, alike must fall,
Beneath the sod we soon must sleep;
The reaper claims us all.
