While I in Grief

While I in grief

My silent spirit goes

Do all my torments bestow

No restful cares below.

For I am plagued with strife-

Within the shadows and the light-

Where all your pains are eased

A comfort I do not know.


While I in grief

No visions of relief

What sorrow I do feel

Surpassing all that is real.


And to my sorrows near

An element of fear

Climbs into my heart

My unknown to start.


Soon I fall into a part

Of Death-

That cannot lead to rest.

A fitful maze

I climb anew

And cheerful notes

Are but few.


Time brings a tolling knell

Around this terrible thing I tell

When all is lost I see

A soulful place to be.


O hear my call!

O see my fate

With darkened memories I will wait

For me to fall

Into Death's wiley charms.


While I in grief

My silent spirit goes

Do all my torments bestow

No restful cares below.
