| When our ears are deaf 10 love;
| When the grasses wave above
And bewail their present blindness
when We cannot heed regret
| They will waste their shallow tears,
! As IL such could pay arrears
| Or discharge the living debt
! They must know we shall not crave
Sunshine in yon grim retreat;
I Gifts OF life. however sweet,
| Yet they keep them for the grave.
| Though the grave has but despair.
| And but hollow echoes wait
| All who knock al that weird gate,
| still they pour their treasure there.
Let the snowy shaft aspire;
| We shall never read the lie;
| Grief uprears the marble high,
| But remorse can rear IL higher
They will come when we are dead,
When 70 love our lips are dumb;
Then our lSggard friends will come
| And stTew flowers overhead.
