Happy the right­eous! come what may,
Oft have I sat in sec­ret sighs
No night is there, no sor­row,
That pre­cious wealth shall be their dow­er,
And bid the mourn­ing saint re­joice,
And na­ture’s self to dust re­turn;
Ye wheels of na­ture, speed your course;

de­cay;

Happy the right­eous man! for he
Then groaned aloud with fright­ed eyes,
No yes­ter­day, no mor­row—
Which moth or rust shall ne’er de­vour,
Thou, whose in­spir­ing breath
Her in­cense fires shall cease to burn:
Fast as ye bring the night of death,
