After-Life + 

I leave the sound, the sorrow, and the strife; + 

Long long ago + 

I lived within the hopeless world of life; + 

Now on my heart forever stilled from strife + 

Slow falls the snow. + 

My heart is still at last, mine eyes no more + 

Their lids unclose; + 

I lie low in the house without a door; + 

While I forever sleep, my spirit sore + 

Grows in a rose. + 
