Bend down your head!
For the last time-the sad last time
Set your last seal upon his mouth
The pane is dim with Winters rime.
The wind is from the fearful South;
And he is dead.
Bend down your head.
His face is fair-he seems to sleep;
His little hands are clasped in play.
All, me, the very angels weep
As round his tiny form they stay,
For he is dead!
Bend down your head!
Those soft brown curls that shade the light,
The azure OF his baby eyes
All, teach them reverently tonight,
Stir not their tangle with your signs,
Since he is dead
Bend down your head
That little life now hushed to rest
That was so inly wrapped with thine
Is pillowed on tenderer Br east;
We must not weep, for Love Divine
In gentle pity surely said:
Asleep, not dead!"
Great Opportunity.
