Beyond the River.
Time Is a river deep and wide;
And while along its banks we stray
We soc our lov'd ones DER its tide
Sail from cur sight away, away.
Where are they sped, they who return
No more to glad our longing eyesI
They've passed from life's contracted bourne
Beyond The river.
IT'S bid from view but we may guess
How beautiful that realm must be-
For gloamings Of It's loveIiness,
In visions granted, oft We see.
The very clouds that DER it throw
Their veil, unrais'd for mortal sight,
With gold and purple tintings glow,
Reflected from the glorious light
Beyond the river.
And gentle airs, so sweet so calm,
Steal sometimes from that viewless sphere ;
The mourner feels their breath Of balm,
And soothed sorrow dries the tear.
And sometimes listning ear may gain
pEntranciug sound that hither floats,
he echo Of a distant strain
lOf harps and voices blended notes,
Beyond the river.
