Subject(s): Death; Graves; Dead, The; Tombs; Tombstones
O wind! God's wind! You swept across
A million stars tonight,
And cleared away the mist to leave them
Beautiful and bright;
O, come and breathe thy cool, clean air
Across my earthworn soul,
Sweep all the ragged threads away
And leave me truly whole.
O, sweep away each petty care
And brush my hearthstone clean,
So God will come and talk with me,
Where He may reign supreme.
