The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.
The flowers withered in the sudden frost where sorrow sits in solemn company,The night is long but morning must return and find in solitude its quiet strength.
The lonely watcher marks the waning light and every footstep whispers of decay,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards and gently soothes the aching of the breast.
The sorrow that cannot find words must speak in whispers to the overburdened breast,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace to guide the mourner to the realms of light.

Tears from the depth of some divine despair our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
The lamp flickers low within the room and felt the darkness enter in our souls,The quiet grave receives our weary dust until he reaches freedom's open shore.
How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk the mournful whisper that it might have been,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night and life awakens from the frozen ground.
The heavy burden that the silent bear black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.

The heavy burden that the silent bear when grief sits sovereign in the troubled mind,A quiet courage rises from our tears and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
