I pine for the world where there no death,
.
Tiler the angel world I pine ;
sigh with a troubled and weary breath ,
lior the joys of a Life Divine;
Then art gone away to the angel world,
And for thee, sweet love, I pine.
I beard in the night a wild bird sing,
A 'bird with a mystic tone,
The air WllB moved by its shining wing,
And it sang in the midnight lona ;
'Tway a Spirit Bird from the Auger World,
And thither my heart has flown.
I mourn by day with a vain regret;
And 11 weep in the weary night,
And I dorm tunes wish that I could forget.
The vision that haunts my sight—
The vi that comes to my dream alone,
But fades with the outward light:
I pine for the river whose waters flow
Where the deathiescedmea htuoiu ;
But I sit by day 'math the erpriiSs \Vo,
And I fade like the waning ninon,
Low sinking toward life's western verge,
Lbw sinking to the tomb
weary now, and the wild winds blow,
And the mournful pinu boughs wore_
Where the robe of Coy beauty lies tailed
in - buow ;
Oh would that [ shared thy grave !
"fwere better far, for my heart's a waste
11 hero the wiadh of sorrow rave.
