ASLEEP.

Did you listen when I whispered
Through your slumbers calm and deep
Summer roses lay beside you,
Slender lilies white and tall,
And you looked so atill and sanity,
Did you feel my toardrops fall?
Oh my darlingi but | murmured
Words so wildly true and fond.
Were you dreaming there serenely
OF the strange and vast Deyond2
When ] whispered how l loved YOU.
Not token crossed your face,
But you lay all pale and placid
In that solitary place.
Did you hear me when | called you.
Love- You lay so fast asleep.
And the stiffness seemed go holy.
That | scarcely dared 10 weep
Scarcely dared to take rosebud
Crushed and crumhled. to my breast,
When left you calmly sleeping
In your everlasting rest.
