SPREAD LIGHTLY HERE"

Written for the LIGHT.
Tread lightly in the darkened room
for now the dead are here,
All that was lovely once in life, is
stretched upon that bier,
Oh! look upon that angel face could
such being die?
Alas her soul has winged it's way to
that home beyond the sky.
And vet methinks 1 look on death for
thy brow is pale and cold,
How could'st thou change from what
thou vast, to what now behold
Thine eyes are closed in dresmless
sleep, their hallowed light Is fed,
Thou hast passed this wild and wintry
shore, and mum brd' with the dead .
Oh let me press those lips once more,
Oh let me kiss that cheek!
Break forth We burning bitter tears,
1t may be / am weak
Break forth or this fond heart will
burst, whilst gazing on the clay,
On which was conferred all my hopes
bright hopes, and where are they2
Oh where are they ? for now I reap
the whirlwind and the storm,
My hopes are conferred in the dust,
are cen tered in the form
On which I could forever gaze with
changless heart and eye,
And thou art gone. for now see that
thou vert born to die.
Stern truth and yet I never thought
upon that truth till now.
Death, death Is pictured on thy face,
and on thy marble brow
Thy heart beats not, thy pulse is still,
and thou art far away.
Oh! what is this now behold, Oh
senseless, breathless claye
Loved one from thy home above look
down, I morn thee here,
It's but q little while to wait, then in
another sphere
Where death, decay and endless ills
have never entered yet,
There we shall meet and clasp again,
when the final sun has set.
