While oanv aged phi grim bends

Upon this youthful brow,

she lies before now.
Her sunny eye Is dim
Her cheek has lost its bloorr;
And the home her presence giaddened oace
Is the house Of tears and gloom.
The cofis and the sbroud
Are her dread psgenuy
And soen the silent grave shall claim
All but her memory.
And yet we should mourn
Tho she has passed away,
For her pure and sainted spirit forms

Where golden batp are strung,
