Andante.
1. A - like are life and death, When life in death sur - vives,
2. Were a star quenched on high, For a - ges would its light,
3. So when a great man dies, For years be-yond our ken,
And the un - in-ter-rup t- ed breath In - spires a thousand lives.
Still trav-’ling downward from the sky, Shine on our mor-tal sight.
The light he leaves be - hind him lies Up - on the paths of men.
