Every year;
you are more alone" they tell us.
Every year:

You have only recollection.
Deeper sorrow and detection.
Every year.

Every year
And we are seaward drifting
Every year
Old places, changing. fret us,
The living more forget MS.

Every year.

Every year:
And It's morning star climbs higher
Every year:

And the heavy burdens lighter.
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.
