A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth\'s diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
I was so young
I didn’t know what to feel.
She went away to the lord
To where she always belonged.
I continued my life with all the joys
Forgetting about her all these years.
One day it struck me,
She coming to protect me.
I felt it deep in my heart
Knowing I was young to be that smart
Remembering her beautiful voice
And the way she used to smile
The way she used to look at me
With those tender eyes
Through which she cared for me
And it gave me all the joys.
Knowing I was too young
To know what to feel
She still seemed a thing that could not feel.
