O could we die with those that die,
And place us in their stead,
Then would our spirits learn to fly,
And converse with the dead:
Then should we see the saints above
In their own glorious forms,
And wonder why our souls should love
To dwell with mortal worms.
We should almost forsake our clay
Before the summons come,
And pray and wish our souls away
To their eternal home.
