Yet mournful and mysterious. It is MDR ' •

That tears are on my eye-lids. It unlocks
Memory's pale urn and my soul reveals

Of denly loved ones faded long age..
They seem to lire again; they move onto more.
p en ile me they moved in life; they breathe
Sweet accents in my ear; they rise from earth
Oa angel plumes and gently beckon me
lihreagh the soft silvery mists that float around,
To fax them upon their long
lad sliming trail of gloiy.
