Nv hear, is strangely sad Tonight
Tears flow into my eyes;
The thoughts that struggle into light
Turn into heavy signs.
fee. as though my heart would speak
with som. heart still in death,
And there comes warm upon my cheek
Some dear ones dying breath.
The asst Lass! words that ever came
Through the lips cold and white
a snatch of song-a prayer-a maine
Come to my ear ~ night.
Trembling with awe sii-n, tread
Tn. hours all dark with death.
And -obbing lean upon the bed,
And watch the failing breath.
On this sweet spot drop tear:
SOFT voices cheer the gloom:
Two loving brothers slumber here
Tw, brothers in one tomb.
Their whole life, like an open book,
The heart sits down and reads
The language is the iaugh--ihe look:
IL sishs, II weeps, Il bleeds.
III needs NOT WrTus' u st''"
Ii looks ON life through death;
The holy air must not be stirred
No, not cen by Il breath
Leaves rustic softly on my ear;
See the branches wave:
A lovely ribbon tree grows here,
And beautlties this grave.
1, sprang from death that once vas life:
Thou art q sacred tree.
For the dear dust OF young wife
Aud mother rou"ished thee.
| look, The mothers bosom heaves
With sorrow for her dead:
The star-lit dew upon thy leaves
Seem tears that mother shed
And dust as precious and as fair
Now sleeps beneath thy shade:
A father and a son sleep here
Here sweet babe was laid.
Deaths shadow darkens every door;
And even now hear
The death wing sweep across some floor:
