your_o grave_n be_v a_o dark_a house_n i_o have_v make_v my_o bed_n in_o the_o darkness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n the_o grave_n be_v like_o the_o sleep_a room_n in_o a_o house_n not_o like_o

of_o the_o grave_n and_o it_o be_v but_o the_o draw_n of_o the_o curtain_n of_o the_o bed_n where_o thou_o shall_v lie_v in_o darkness_n till_o the_o resurrection●_n day_n in_o the_o grave_n there_o
