THE MEANING, by                    
First Line: It seemed to me the night she died
Last Line: Her spirit passed to paradise.
Subject(s): Death; Heaven; Love - Loss Of; Dead, The; Paradise


IT seemed to me the night she died
That all the heaven's silv'ry light
Was swiftly, suddenly put out
And all about was darkest night.

But now I know that moon and stars
With great compassion, in the skies
Had only paled awhile, until
Her spirit passed to Paradise.
