On a Friend'ss Bier

Take the cloak from his face, and at first let the corpse do its worst! Cover the face then cover the face now death has done all death can. Absorbed in the new life he leads he recks not, he heeds. Cover the face now the solemn and strange. Death has done all death can then cover the face. Cover the face then death has done all death can. How he lies in his rights of a man! Cover the face now death has done all death can. The solemn and strange. Cover the face then cover the face! Death has done all death can. Cover the face!
