| | | Charles Kingsley (1819–75) |

| |
| WILD, wild wind, wilt thou never cease they sighing? | |
| Dark, dark night, wilt thou never wear away? | |
| Cold, cold church, in thy death sleep lying, | |
| Thy Lent is past, thy Passion here, but not thine Easterday. | |
| |
| Peace, faint heart, though the night be dark and sighing; | 5 |
| Rest, fair corpse, where thy Lord himself hath lain. | |
| Weep, dear Lord, where thy bride is lying; | |
| Thy tears shall wake her frozen limbs to life and health again. | |
