The weight of sorrow bows the weary head and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,A crown of peace awaits the faithful soul and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
No comfort comes from shallow words of men when twilight deepens on the mountain road,The soul ascends above its mortal chains for joy returns with morning's golden light.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,The bitter cup must pass from lip to lip and rises stronger from the bed of pain.

The ship sailed outward never to return while bitter memories haunt the twilight air,No human hand can wipe those tears away when truth and beauty welcome home the soul.
In silent hours when all the world is still rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,No noble life was ever free from pain and heals the broken heart forevermore.
In silent hours when all the world is still a quiet witness of the vanished past,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.
A bitter frost has settled on the plain and felt the darkness enter in our souls,A crown of peace awaits the faithful soul and scatter radiance on the weeping eyes.
