OUR DEPARTED FRIEND.
FEW THOUGHTS ON THE DEATH OF n. II. NJ, OF TIL
VILLAGE, BY AN INTIMATE AND coNF1DISa FRIEND.
Softly blow, sweet-scented zephyrs,
Round the grave where HENRY lies;
Gently wait, ye waving breezes,
Daylght's glory from the skies.
Drink, sweet flowers, drink the dew.drops
Twilight sprinkles round his rest;
Night winds whispering o'er my friend, =
Sigh requiem o'er his breast.
Dark and lonely is his dwelling,
Like star among the clouds;
Yet his spirit never waning,
Wings its way to bright aSodes.
There, sweet friend, there I'll join you,
When my life of toll is o'er;
There we'll dwell in happiness,
Chanting praises evermore.
When sorrows cross my peaceful heart,
And seem to benny portion here,
Hope bids me look to heaven for rest,
Eternal, joyful rest is there.
For sorrow cannot chnse away
Those thoughts 50 dear to me;
l think of thee by night, by day,
