Sleep, sweet Faancis; on thy breast
The summer flowers will blDom,
While thou, the brightest and the best,
Dost withcr in tie tomb.
The sun will beam at morning fair,
But, oh! thy light no more;
The song of birds will load the air
Thy swceter song is DER.
Thy lutte toned laugh, thy gushing glee,
Which thrilled US all the dav,
Is Eushed, like music on the se-,
BY Naiad's lured away.
The living tints of purest blue,
Are faded from thy eye;
Thy spirit, like the fragrant dew,
Hath fIoated to the sky.
Sleep sweetly, Francis! thy pure sonI,
Through faircr scenes will rove,
In realms bey' nd this worlds control.
Where all is light and love.
Weep not fond pareats DER his tomb,
-, Nor where thine angel ,rod;
