Hai ris'n in splendour, and our angry tears
Refuse to reusable hi.' insulting ray,
That counterfeits the light of other years.
Sea brother, see I the dew is on the dowers,
Whose perfume scents the merry morning air,
And rustling leave., in these their waking hours
Invite es (just as heretofore) to prayer.
List, brother, list I the lark's exalting voice,
As swift be mounts into the morning sky.
The gush of (tadpole bids the world rejoice,
With him whow throat sends forth the melody.

In dark owls yonder pallet by the wall ;
And on It-10 weeks past ott bed of roses—
Let perfume, melodyAndieunlight fall.
Ay, brother, dead ! the fees is pale and sweet,
And the lips almost pastes if with breath.
Throw your eyes downward, boy, lowerds the feet
Now —now you realise that it is death.
Death, brother, death! yet bird*, and dowers, and son,
bloom, and shine. 'Sister! to than 'tis giro
To know that ended life 'elite begun,
And we mourn exultant ent'riog
