Sly friends would look upon my quiet free Before they laid it in its resting place, And deem that death had left It almost frlr; And, laying snow-white flowers against my hair, Would smooth it down with tcarftil tenderness, And fold my bands with lingering carwa— Poor bands! so empty and so cold tonight. HI should dlo tonight. My friends would call to mind, with lovingthought, gome kindly deed the Icy hand had wrought, Some gentle word the frozen Ups bad said. Errands on which the willing feet bad sped; The memory of mraolfiahnct* and pride, My hasty words, would all bo aside; And so 1 should be loved and mourned tonight HI should die tonight Even hearts estranged would turn once more to me, Befalling other days remorse hilly. The eyes that chill me with averted glance Would look upon me as of yore, perchance. And often In the old, familiar way— For who could war with dumb, unconscious clay?— Bo I should rest, forgiven of all, tonight Oh friends! I pray tonight, £eep not your kisses for my cold, dead brow * The way is looely, let me feel them now. Beal gently with me, I am travel-worn; My (Altering fret are pierced with many a thorn. Forgive, oh hearts estranged, forgive, 1 plead i When dreamless rest Is mine I shall not need The tenderness of which I long tonight.
