"Christmas Mourning"

Darkness lies behind me
And darkness looms ahead
Shadows grasp and bind me
And fill my nights with dread

A sadness fills my soul
Where once your kindness dwelt
And hope is swallowed whole
Before its even felt

Why should I feel cheerful,
When you're so far away?
Your mem'ry leaves me tearful
For yet another day

Bury deep my sorrow
Don a glad disguise
At least until tomorrow
No grief shall cloud my eyes
