Till every sound appears a knell,
And every spot a grave.
Out rung a nation's knell;
Our cause was wrapped in its winding shroud,
All fell when the great Lee fell.

The throb-song of the silent hell:
No end, no change; no change no end.

An' reider the licht grew within his een
As he heard that awfu' knell.

The clock's dull knell at two !
But the hour is to come that seals her doom,
And the lamps are burning blue !
