Song: Calm was the even, and clear was the sky

There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,

That night your great guns, unawares,
Shook all our coffins as we lay,
And broke the chancel window-squares,
We thought it was the Judgment-day

And sat upright. While drearisome
Arose the howl of wakened hounds:
The mouse let fall the altar-crumb,
The worms drew back into the mounds,

An hundred times the rolling sun
Around the radiant belt has run
In his revolving race.
