funeral hymn

Then the peasants knelt down to sing a funeral hymn to the memory of Logvinov, whose coffin was even yesterday within the room.

The incense rises in clouds, and the monks chant the funeral hymn.

At the same instant the bell struck again; and the funeral hymn was recommenced by the junior recluses.

With solemn step and slow, they went as though they feared no harm, the priests and singers chanting some ancient, funeral hymn.

In the language of the good old funeral hymn, some time we'll understand.
