John Kenyon - Earthly Parting lyrics

Had Heaven, to prayer of mine more kind, But snapped my thread of Being first, I know how, lingering here behind, Thou wouldst have deemed thy lot the worst; And how thou wouldst have shed the tear Over my coldly silent bier. But this, alas! might not be so, And I remain to weep for Thee; And still weep on, though well I know Such parting is but life's decree; That, doomed to leave, or left forlorn, We must be mourned for, or must mourn.
