The day is ending,

The night is descending;

The marsh is frozen,

  The river dead.

Through clouds like ashes

The red sun flashes

On village windows

  That glimmer red.

The snow recommences;

The buried fences

Mark no longer

  The road o'er the plain;

While through the meadows,

Like fearful shadows,

Slowly passes

  A funeral train.

The bell is pealing,

And every feeling

Within me responds

  To the dismal knell;

Shadows are trailing,

My heart is bewailing

And tolling within

  Like a funeral bell.
