from memory a. reeited by The late Littletcr
W. Tazewell
l know thou art gone to the home Of the blest;
Then why should my soluble so sad
l know thou art gone where the..weary ones RESI-
And the mourner looks up and is glad;
Where love hath put of in the land OF 'ts birth
The stain 1t had gathered in this,
And hope, the sweet singer that gladdened the
earth,
Lies asleep on the bosom OF bliss.
know thou art gone where thy forehead is starr'd
With the beauty that dwelt in thy soul,
Where the light ofthyIoveliness cannot be mario
Nor thy heart be turned back from its goal.
know thou hast drunk of the Lethe that flows
Though land where they do not forget,
That sheds over memory only repose.
And takes from it only regret.
In thy far-away dwelling, wherever it be.
believe thou hast visions Of mine.
And love that made all things music to me,
have not yet learned to resign.
never look up with vow to the sky
But light like thy beauty is there;
And hear low murmur like thine in reply
When pour out my spirit in prayer.
These eyes must be dark that so long have been
dim
Ere again they may gaze upon thine,
But my heart hath revealing of thee and thy home
In many token and sign;
In the hush of the night, when abroad on the sea
Or alone on the desolate HILL
have ever a presence that whispers, of thee,
And my spirit lies down and is still.
And though, like mourner that sits by tomb.
am wrapped in mantle Of care,
Yet the grief OF nv bosom, oh, call il not 8oaif =
rs not the clack grief of despair
BY SORROW revealed, as the stars are by night
Far off bright vision appears.
And hope, like the rainbow, a being of Ii ght,
Is born, like the rainbow. in tears.
