As thrust from n sharp. venomed dart;
Gladly I'd welcome a share of the strain,
That preys on thy grief-ladened heart.
Thy burdens are heavy, thu pathway IS

No haven Of solace appears:

TO weep,
There's comfort in fast flowing tears
Death comes like serpent, strikes. and
IS gone.
And his soul knows less Of remorse
Than the flames uncontrolled, by wild
winds blown,
That leave but despair in their course.

Too oft on thy home has been laid;
All The hours Of happiness Hope has

That I have not n soothing balm.

To rob thee OF peace and its calm.

Ere sorrow had claimed thee his bride
You've offered each Joy OF thine as my

Could sympathy bring thee relief.

Wouldst thou wander alone with grief
