Earth’s pride, undefiled,
Could love have saved thou had’st

Humbly we bow to fate’s decree
Yet had we hoped that time should

Thee mourn for us, not us for thee. ”
“Yet ’tis sweet balm to our despair
Fond fairest boy,
That heaven is God’s and thou art
there
With him in jov ;
There past are death and all its
woes ;
There beauty’s stream forever flows;
And pleasure’s day no sunset

With beam of love,
A star, death’s uncongenial wild
