Take me, Mother Earth, to thy cold breast, And fold me there in everlasting rest! The long day is o’er, I’m weary, I would sleep; But deep, deep, Never to waken more. I have had joy and sorrow, I have prov’d What life could give, have lov’d, and been belov’d; I am sick, and heart-sore, And weary; let me sleep; But deep, deep, Never to waken more. To thy dark chamber, Mother Earth, I come, Prepare thy dreamless bed in my last home; Shut down the marble door, And leave me! Let me sleep; But deep, deep, Never to waken more!
