Do dusky shadows creep? | |||
Because the wind blows keenly there, | |||
Or rainstorms lash and leap? | |||
No wind blows chill upon them, | |||

With all his shadowy train. | |||
The old bring up the cortege, | |||
In front the young folk ride, | |||
And on Death's saddle in a row | |||
The babes sit side by side. | |||
The young folk lift their voices, | |||
The old folk plead with Death: | |||
"O let us take the village-road, | |||
Or by the brook draw breath. | |||
There let the old drink water, | |||
There let the young folk play, | |||
And let the little children | |||
Run and pluck the blossoms gay."}} | |||

Why o'er the dark'ning hill-slopes
Do dusky shadows creep?
Because the wind blows keenly there,
Or rainstorms lash and leap?
No wind blows chill upon them,
Nor are they lash'd by rain:
'Tis Death who rides across the hills
With all his shadowy train.
The old bring up the cortege,
In front the young folk ride,
And on Death's saddle in a row
The babes sit side by side.
The young folk lift their voices,
The old folk plead with Death:
"O let us take the village-road,
Or by the brook draw breath.
There let the old drink water,
There let the young folk play,
And let the little children
Run and pluck the blossoms gay."
