Farewell to thee blessed one! meek spirit Of Heaven
Once lovely in hridal-now sainted in tomb
Was partner or parent more gentle eer given
10 hallow lies blessings, or tighten its gooml
o. bright as the bud Of the parterre or bower
Thoust glided through life, till the spoer drew near
And cut short Of meridian the matronly flower
And marred Its PROJECTIONS and laid them all drear
or ties how endearng, -ths stroke has bereft us.--
Yet when dosting on all OF thy goodness and love
How hard to believe that thy spirit has left US
And now bahes In ETHEREAL glores above!
And o! when thy last racking torrents were over
And in sable array, came the shroud and the pail
VINO but ielt that thy spirit around there did hover
And breathe its benignan caresses on all3
Far away thou hast gone into angels kind keeping
Ihou II return to thy earthly enthralment more
Yetthe tears which thy kindred silently weeping
Shall long this affecting bereavement deplore.
And he, thy forlorn one will he cease to cherish
The tenderest remembrance his heart ever knew1
No! fame wealth, life, honor, sooner shall perish,
IMAM his hallowed affections shall wander from you
And she, too, the beautiful! thus in her dawning
10 be torn from her mother-how dismals the tale
who that heard--can forget her terrible warning
shreking out upon midnight her coronach wall
There stand they above thee in emblems of sorrow
Al the shrek OF the blastsee the sable plumcs wave
Their eyes dim with weepng-were glazed in wild hor
Till in desolate lonelness-they food thy green grave
o! If from thy radiant Eden of Glory
Thou canst look this eathspot anguish and pain
Let them know thou art there! through thy marvellous
And tell them they'll meet thee in Heaven again!
