And pours more passionate kisses on the lips

And, in dreamy luxury of grief,
Strews the white corse with fowers.-"Ill lay
thee out,
Ny poor dead love, and fondlier gaze on thee
Than when thou smiled amid thy golden hair,
And sang more sweetly than Hope No tears;
for Death
Saw thee when ioreliest, and bis icy touch
Preserves thy icy. look forever. # is well;

From human ickleness- In after years,

A mouIner 10 thy grave. Thou art so iair.
That gazing on thee, clamorous grief becomes,
For very reverenced, mute. Hmighty Death
Made cur rude human faces by his touch
Divinely fair as thine, ., never more,
Would strong hearts break DER biers, There
