    (continued from previous page)
    Mould candles in rows like torches awatching me
    And I cold in my coffin at the dawn of the day.
    III
    When my fueral is over an home go my family
    In the churchyard alone I'll be left to my solitary
    The clocks and the airwige creeping on the top of me
    What a fool I must be not to see this'll happen me
    And work my salvation before I go to the grave.
