The Answer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When i go back to earth
And all my joyous body
Puts off the red and white
That once had been so proud
If men should pass above
With false and feeble pity
My dust will find a voice
To answer them aloud
Be still, i am content
Take back your poor compassion
Joy is a flame in me
Too steady to destroy
Lithe as a bending reed
Loving the storm that sways her
I found more joy in sorrow
Than you could find in joy
