AT REST.

At rest, where the dark river flows:
At rest, where blossoms the rose,
Asleep amid the deep repose,
Forever more.
White ships win go sailing by,
Dim, spectral shadows will fly
over the blue and radiant sky,
i shall not see.
Nor see the moon at night,
In shrGud OF ambient light,
Shmmering and silvery white,
Where I sleep.
While overhead the starry sheen
OF worlds unnumbered family CLEAN,
Lying 40 still, shall I dream
or you?
Or bed OF vlolets in the lane,
purple shrine, golden flame,
Where the tiger lilies claim
This fairy haunt.
Where the birds or opal wing,r
Sip the sweets from vines that cling:
Sip the sweets and softly sing,
/ shall not hear.
But when the earth that covers me
Shall with daisies covered be;
When you turn aside to see
The snowy mound,
Breathe my name soft and low,
And through the crimson sunsets glow
I, perchance, shall hear and know
In my grave.
