First Line: There is a spot so still and dreary
Last Line: And there the wanderer's journey close.
Subject(s): Graves; Tombs; Tombstones
There is a spot so still and dreary,
It is a pillow to the weary;
It is so solemn and so lone,
That grief forgets to heave a groan.
There life's storms can enter never;
There 't is dark and lonely ever;
The mourner there shall seek repose,
And there the wanderer's journey close.
