There is an old belief
That on some solemn shore
Beyond the sphere of grief
Dear friends shall meet once more
Beyond the sphere of Time
And Sin and Fate's control
Serene in changeless prime
Of body and of soul
That creed I fain would keep
That hope I'll ne'er forgo
Eternal be the sleep
If not to waken so
