360 BRYAN WALLER PROCTER. Humble voyagers are We, O'er Life's dim unsounded sea, Seeking only some calm clime : — Touch us gently, gentle Time ! VIL-SIT DOWN, SAD SOUL. SIT down, sad soul, and count The moments flying : Come, — tell the sweet amount That's lost by sighing ! How many smiles ? — a score ? Then laugh, and count no more ; For day is dying ! Lie down, sad soul, and sleep, And no more measure The flight of Time, nor weep The loss of leisure ; But here, by this lone stream, Lie down w...ith us, and dream Of starry treasure ! "We dream : do thou the same : We love— for ever : We laugh ; yet few we shame. The gentle, never. Stay, then, till Sorrow dies ; Then — hope and happy skies Are thine for ever ! VIH. -FINIS. MY soul is sinking To deep repose. Friends, come around me At Life's dark close. SONGS. 361 No bell be sounding, No tears abounding; I leave behind me The world's sad woes. Soft smiles attend me Whene'er I fly — Good prayers befriend me, From earth and sky.
