Original text and translations

English text

Thy soul shall find itself alone,
'Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone--

Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness-- for then

The spirits of the dead,
Who stood in life before thee are again

In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
