“And who can paint our mutual joy,

When, all our wanderings o’er,

We both shall clasp our infants three

At home, on Burmah’s shore!

“But higher shall our raptures glow,

On yon celestial plain,

When the loved and parted here below

Meet, ne’er to part again.

“Then gird thine armor on, love,

Nor faint thou by the way.
