When I would die.
NJ

o. I would die when Autumn throws her mantle
OF pristine colors DER mother earth,
Whom bud and blossom lay them down to slumber
Upon the oarth-clods which gave them birth.
when feathor'd warblers sing their farewell mathis,
And wing their way in brighter lands to roam,
Then would / wing my way TO Eden's bowers,
To dwell with Him, my father, there at home.
When bright the harvest moon is clearly shining
Gods watch-lights glow from out the upper air,
When with tho Gospel watch-light brightly burning
I'd seek my home beyond the realms of care.
When the old oak his regal robe throws from him,
And casts his leafy mantle to the ground
Then may my earthly mantle from me vanish,
And 'mong Gods chosen may 1 then be found.
