Grave Desires

Time was I stood as thou dost now
And viewed the dead as thou dost me
Ere long thou shalt lie as low as I
And others stand and look at thee
These are my grave desires
Farewell my friends

Death is a debt to nature due

Farewell my friends I loved so dear
I’ve gone and left this vale of tears
My end you know, my grave you see
Prepare yourselves to follow me

You’ve been born to die
As I’ve been dying for so long
Hear my voice call

These are my grave desires
Farewell my friends
