(words missing) that when thy summons (words missing) to join
The innumerable caravan which (word missing)
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
The chamber in the silent halls of death
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
(word missing) to his dungon, but (word missing), and soothed
By (word missing) unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
