    By Nebo's lonely mountain,
    On this side Jordan's wave,
    In a vale in the land of Moab,
    There lies a lonely grave;
    But no man built that sepulcher,
    And no man saw it e'er,
    For the angels of God upturned the sod
    And laid the dead man there.

The grave, dread thing!
Men shiver when thou'rt named: Nature appalled,
Shakes off her wonted firmness.
