OH BURY ME IN THE WILD WOODS.
OH bury in the wild woods,
Where the birds unfettered sing,
And where in rich luxuriancc,
The unframed dowerets spring.
There let me sleep in silence,
By the blue streams ripping tide.
Whose bright and sparkling waters,
In circling wavelets glide.
Then make me a soft and grassy grave,
Afar from the busy throng.
Where Taught is heard but the murmuring way
And the gush of the wild birds song:
Where the orient beams of morning
May rest first upon my bed
And where the willows weeping shadow
Bends above my sleeping head -
Where the twilight shades fall soonest
And the bright stars first appear,
As cleaning through the forest.
They shine pure and clear.
Where the winds may sing a requiem, &
In tho lonely autumn hours
When bending with the rain drops,
Droops low the summer flowers 1
And even there in winter
The snow shall softly fall, IS
And cover DER my resting place #
With pure white funeral pail e.
Then would sleep in tho wild wood, -#
Alone, but not forgot
For know kind feet will often stray
To that green and lonely spot
