! would that thou vert dead, devoted one,
For thou art alltoO pure to hnger here;
Liie's joyous sands to thee have heetly run,
And sorrows hand hath made thy being scar; |
Thy girlhood was pure and artless dream,
And many sunny hope has thril'd thy breast, |
And many an air-blown bubble gilt hfe's stream,
Flash'd for a moment, broke, and sunk to rest
Emblems IT youth and liveliness were they,
And, ike hopes fairy visions, pass'd away.
Iwonld that thou vert dead, forsaken girl,
That high, pale brow, enshrin'd within the
tomb;
For, as with gentle winds still waters curl,
So fades, at sorrows touch, young beauty'S
bloom
Thou art too pure and fair for this cold earth,
A thing too guiltless long to dwell below;
Thy voice has lost its cadences Of mirth,
The glory has departed from thy brow,
And youths pure bloom has left thy virgin heart,
And beauty, like phantom, will depart.
IwOuld that thou vert dead, for life to thee
Isas broken reed--a wither'd flower;
Dark shadows rest upon thy destiny,
And storms Of fate around thy fortunes lower (;
Welded to one thy bosom cannot love-
Banish'd from him thine ev'ry thought employs,
Thou art in heart a bruis'd and wounded dove,
And earth to thee can yield no future joys;
Wearily passes life and time with lhee;
A dusky shadow dims thy destiny.
would that thou vert dead, devoted one,
And thy bright spirit disenthral'd of clay,
( Fen as the dew-drop wastes beneath the sun,
Thus, by disease, thy being wastes away;
Oh, who that knew thee when thou vert child
With glad voice and heaven-unfOlding eye,
A creature as the snowflake undefl'd,
With n bright lip, and cheek of rosy dye;
Oh who that knew thee then, can see thee now
Nor wonder for the beauty Of. thy brow!
would that thou vert dead, and sanctifed--
Thy spirit with high elements is fraught,
And that which scorn and cruelty defed,
The lingering stealth of pale disease ha
wrought
Yes, death is near thee now, sweet Geneveve,
And thou shalt haste to meet him with smile
1t is in vain thy gentle sisters grieve,
Thy soul shall soon fee by each starry isle
That glitters brightly thro' the calm blue skies,
Like white lids lifted from pure spirits eyes.
Thou soon shalt die, sweet martyr, and the cart
Will nurture gentle flowers above thy grave,
Sweet emblems Of thy being and thy birth,
With cypress leaves around thy tomb sha
wave.
And when the pensive stranger wandcrs nigh,
His lips shall watt tributary prayer
For her who soon shall prematurely die,
For her whose seraph form shall moulderther
Farewell, sweet Genevieve-'tis sad to part
Farewell! thy beauty shrOuds breaking heal
