CHORUS

Is it the truth, or but an idle tale

To give false comfort to our fears,

That the soul lives on when the body is laid to rest,

When the wife has sealed the husband’s eyes,

When the last sun has set,

When the ashes are shut into the solemn urn?

Do we in vain give up our life to death?

Has the poor mortal still more time to live?

Or do we wholly die?

Does nothing remain of us,

After the breath has fled and the spirit of life

Gone, to be mingled with the air above us,

After the fire has been laid to the naked body?
