Dirge

The swallow leaves her nest,
The soul my weary breast;
But therefore let the rain
On my grave
Fall pure; for why complain?
Since both will come again
O'er the wave.
The wind dead leaves and snow
Doth scurry to and fro;
And, once a day shall break
O'er the wave,
When a storm of ghosts shall shake
The dead, until they wake
