A human clo ls down andcr lb ground,
Away from light, away from souud ?
Aye, lake thy loved lo thy heart to-diy,
For to-morrow may speed him awsy.
Look at lb beautiful broad while brow,
Where Iby lip pres so tenderly now,
Ere many moons I lie lips ef Death
O'er that brow shall trail bl breath.
Look thou well on lb (oft hair atrands
Ho often and gently eirrssed by thy hands:
'n little while grave-worms will creep
Where the lovely wavelets sleep.
Oaie long an.l fondly into the eyo
Whose loveligut for the ctii never die;
A few more day end its glow will be hid
Cold and dark 'neatb the coffin lid.
Tenderly, lovingly smooths thi face.
Coax the smiles from Ibeir hiding place ;
For soon the smile and the faee will fade
Into the gloom that death his ma le.
Tightly presa Ibe lip to Ibine,
Thai soMy wlii.per, "Thou art mine!"
Ere long they'll cold and silent be,
Crushed by the last agony.
Gently on iby throbbing breast
Lei the tired head now rest ;
Dark and cold will be his bad,
Strangers o'er the turf will trend.
Closely around the life entwine
That flushes tho warm life blood lo Ibine ;
In a little while no puis will beat
In the bosom neaih Ihe winding sheet.
Wildly, sweetly lint life lo Ihre Use,
Till Ihe citiv'ring depths of the soul awake;
For aoon Ihe shroud will fold him round
In his dreamless sleep beneath Iho mouu I.
flod of Heaven ! will nothing savo
Our loved from a foul and hideous grav ?
