To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bury me near my sire revered, Who righteous paths so firmly trod, Who early taught my soul with awe To heed the Prophets and the Law, And to my infant heart appear d Majestic as a God: Oh ! when his sacred dust The cerements of the tomb shall burst, 168 BARZILLAI THE GILEAD1TE.
Might I be worthy at his feet to rise, To yonder blissful skies, Where angel-hosts resplendent shine, Jehovah ! Lord of Hosts, the glory shall be thine.
Cold age upon my breast Hath shed a frost like death ; The wine-cup... hath no zest, The rose no fragrant breath ; Music from my ear hath fled, Yet still one sweet tone lingereth there, The blessing that my mother shed Upon my evening prayer.
Dim is my wasted eye To all that beauty brings, The brow of grace the form of symmetry Are half-forgotten things ; Yet one bright hue is vivid still, A mother s holy smile, that soothed my sharpest ill.
Memory, with traitor-tread Methinks, doth steal away Treasures that the mind had laid Up for a wintry day. Images of sacred power, Cherish d deep in passion s hour, BARZILLAT THE GILEADITE 169 Faintly now my bosom stir, Good and evil like a dream Half obscured and shadowy seem, Yet with a changeless love my soul remembereth her, Yea it remembereth her : Close by her blessed side, make ye my sepulchre.
