PORTSMOUTH, 1830.
When I am in my grave, The busy clouds will wander on ; This Moon, that silver-tips each dancing wave, Will shine as it hath shone.
When I am low in ground, The Spring will call and wake the flowers, And yonder little knoll will show as gay As it hath bloomed when ours.
When I am in the sky, Long leagues above the evening-star, The city-hum shall sound as fitfully As now it comes from far.
When I am spirit clear, More pure than is this Ocean-moon, The false world in the great ...Eternal's ear Shall make no better tune.
God, lift me from the power Of flesh-corruption : how shall I Bear to be boi*ne along with stainless flower And fleecy cloud on high !
God, lift up unto me The sinning heart of human-kind ; How can 1 flutter down the skies and see Their errant souls and blind 1 LYRICAL PIECES 21; Or wrap me in the light That folds thy glory's outer zone ; Be Thou the sole horizon to my sight, Content in Thee alone.
LAST WORDS. (1831. ) Refresh me with the bright-blue violet, And put the pale faint>scented primrose near, For I am breathing yet : Shed not one silly tear ; But when mine eyes are set, Scatter the fresh flowers thick upon my bier, And let my early grave with morning dew be wet.
