Transcription
Oh come, come with me to the old churchyard
I will know the path through the soft green sward
Friends slumber there we were want to regard
And we’ll trace out their names in the old churchyard
Oh, grieve not for them their grief it is o’er
Weep not for them, they weep no more
For deep is their sleep, though cold and hard
Their pillows may be in the old churchyard
I will know the path through the soft green sward
Friends slumber there we were want to regard
And we’ll trace out their names in the old churchyard
Oh, grieve not for them their grief it is o’er
Weep not for them, they weep no more
For deep is their sleep, though cold and hard
Their pillows may be in the old churchyard
