Lily thou art resting well,
In thy lonely marrow cell,
Dark and lonely marrow cell;
And / would with thee had died,
And was sleeping by thy side,

She who gave thee being-shc,
Who made life Il joy to me,

We're she with thee I could bear
All life's agony and care,
Bitter agony and care;
But alas, she went astray,
From the straight and narrosy way,
Virtues straight and narrow way,
And o! misery became,
TO her sex thing of shame,
Thing of infitmy and shame.
Now of every hope bcrett,
Naught have to live for left,
Naught on earth to live for left;
And with bleeding heart | roam
Broken desccrated home,
Looking, longing for the day,
When my breath shall ebb away,
To its Oliver cbb away.
For feel Il God of Love,
In the better Land above,
Brighter. better land above,
To these yearning arms again,
With a soul all free from STAIN
Free from every earthly stain,
Will the wanderer restore,
To be tempted never more,
Passion-tempted never more.

Beloved my spirit is pining
For thee; for thee;
Lies sunlight no longer Is shining,
For me; all me
This beautiful earth seems drcary-
Its flowers dead;
And my glad heart groweih weary,
For Hope has fed.
All never, to me, all never!
Can joy come back;
No smile of thine will brighten;
LIES gloomy track.
Alone in darkness, forever,
My soul will pine;
For love that afar hath wandered
From ssValcntinc.''
