< < < Lay this laurel on the one
Life, and Death, and Giants > > >

Let down the bars, O Death!

---

Let down the bars, O Death!

The tired flocks come in

Whose bleating ceases to repeat,

Whose wandering is done.

---

Thine is the stillest night,

Thine the securest fold;

Too near thou art for seeking thee,

Too tender to be told.
