Hymns for Children, 59
From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
Religion
And am I born to die,
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
A world of darkest shade,
Unpierced by human thought;
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot.
