Yonder stands the hillside chapel <br />Mid the evergreens and rocks, <br />All day long it hears the song <br />Of the shepherd to his flocks. <br /> <br />Then the chapel bell goes tolling- <br />Knelling for a soul that's sped; <br />Silent and sad the shepherd lad <br />Hears the requiem for the dead. <br /> <br />Shepherd, singers of the valley, <br />Voiceless now, speed on before; <br />Soon shall knell that chapel bell <br />For the songs you'll sing no more.<br /><br />Eugene Field<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/uhland-s-2/
