Alone in a dark night
I saw death coming near
I shiver in my place with fright
Though there is nothing to fear.

Death is but an escape
From earthly woes to suffer
Yet from this fact I learn
A truth that made me shiver.

Leave does my earthly woes
So does my friends and foes
Never again will I ever see them
Life they are living will still be the same.

Hate to think that I won't see
Ever again the light of day.
And watch will I
From heaven sky,
'Tis but the folly of mortality.
