BY EJENNSE WAhhkN
Hover, not thou, with thy sombre wing,
Der the beautiful buds Of earth,
Gather not thou what the angels bring,
Blight not the flowers at birth
Childhood hath roses that fade at thy touch,
Voices that hush at thy breath
Linger not, then, mid the early flowers
Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death,
Visions are wreathing the brow of youth
With deep, mysterious spell,
Pulses are throbbing, whose joy and truth
Have meanings too deep TO tell
Youth hath fountains that chill at thy touch,
Gushings that freeze at thy breath;
Linger not, tteD, mid the summer flowers
Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death
Majesty resleth on Manhood's brow,
The fever of life and his heart,
Hope hath enchanted with eagerness now,
Bid not her spirit depart
Manhood hath missions that yield to thy sway
Fires that are quenched at thy breath
Linger not, mid the blossoms Of this day
Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death!
Sadness hath crept o 'er the dreams of age,
Bitterness lies at his heart
Tempest and mildew have blotted ife's page,
Bid the worn spirit depart.
Wings that are fettered will plume at thy call,
Shadows will fee at thy breath
Come. then, in mercy, with scep,re and pail
Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death
Peacefully resteth the crown ofyears
On the Christian hoary head
Faith in its fullness, has silenced his fears,
The tumut of passion has fled.
Holy the visions that over him roll,
Prayer is the voice Of his breath,
Rend thou the temple that prisons his soul
Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death
