And am I born to die
To lay this body down
And as my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown
A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary region of the dead
Where all things are forgot
Soon as from Earth I go
What will become of me
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be
To lay this body down
And as my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown
A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary region of the dead
Where all things are forgot
Soon as from Earth I go
What will become of me
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be
