Fear not the heat of the summer sun
Nor the harshness of winter’s icy cold;
Your worldly task is done,
Homeward you are bound,
Your angelic innocence intact:
Fear not the displeasure of the Almighty,
You are beyond all judgement now;
You have no need for eat nor drink;
No need for clothes or shelter:
Neither pain nor ill intent can harm you now.
Fear no more when lightning strikes,
No need to cringe when thunder roars;
Young boys and girls all must,
As all of us, return to dust.
May your slumber be peaceful and secure,
And may we all meet again once more.
