The people that lie on this cold, cold hill,
In the gray, and groan of November’s chill,
Have lived their lives of good or ill;
And gone to their reward.

Empty, cold, decaying alone,
The “has-been” at the cross roads;
Boards for windows, pigeons for choir,
Once place where men laid down their loads.
Once the pastor burned the pulpit;
Fire from heaven that he preached,
Filled the pews and spilled beyond them
Beyond the door, others were reached.
Why such empty, hollow churches?
Why the grown-up parking lot?
‘Cause a people that once knew Him
Act now, as though they “knew Him not.”
