HEAVEN'S glory shone where he was laid
HanIn life's decline!
I turned me from that young saint's bed
To gaze on thine.
It was a summer day that saw
His spirit's flight;
Thine parted in a time of awe,
A winter's night.


Upon her soothing breast
She lulled her little child,
A winter sunset in the west
A heav'nly glory smiled.
I gazed within thine earnest eyes
And read the sorrow brooding there;
I heard thy young breast torn with sighs,
And envied such despair.


Go to the grave in youth's bare woe!
That dream was written long ago
