Clay to clay, and dust to dust!
Let them mingle �for they must!
Give to earth the earthly clod,
For the spirit�s fled to God.
Never more shall midnight�s damp
Darken round this mortal lamp;
Never more shall noonday�s glance
Search this mortal countenance.
Deep the pit, and cold the bed,
Where the spoils of death are laid:
Stiff the curtains, chill the gloom,
Of man�s melancholy tomb.
Look aloft! The spirit�s risen �
Death cannot the soul imprison:
�Tis in heaven that spirits dwell,
Glorious, though invisible.
Thither let us turn our view;
Peace is there, and comfort too:
There shall those we loved be found,
Tracing joy�s eternal round.
