Df Mrs. Hemans, upon The same subject
Oh sing to me, sweet sister, sing
The song loved 10 hear;
And when Pm gone, oh sing it still.
And think Pm lingering near.
Oh let me hear before leave
This world for yonder skies,
The trembling tones of thy rich voice.
On sighing zephyrs rise. -
OF whilst we've watched the weary sun
Behind the mountains hide,
Casting his soft and parting light
On SUsQUEHANNA's side
And standing by our mothers side.
Or by our fathers knee,
That song has risen the breeze
Oh sing ii NOW 10 me ...,
In fancy then will rise the scenes
OF my loved chldhood's home
Again III pluck my favorlte flowers,
And through my loved haunts roam.
The forms of those in childhood dear,
Before me shall see,
And present sorrow III be forgot
Then sing that song for me.
The deep rich tones so richly rose
Upon the evening air;
They seemed to stay the hand of death,
And angels fingered there.
The song now ceased-,he wall of grief
Succeeded that sweet lay;
For, with the loved and dying strains,
HER SPIRIT PASSED AWAY!
