Darkly the cloud of night comes rolling on;
Darker is thy repose, my fair-haired son!
Silent and dark.
And I too shall find slumber
With my lost one, in the earth;
— Let none light up the ashes
Again on our hearth!
Let the roof go down!—let silence
On the home for ever fall,
Where my boy lay cold, and heard not
His lone Mother's call!
Darkly the cloud of night comes rolling on;
Darker is thy repose, my fair-haired son!
Silent and dark.
