And found and left them happy, So time flew,

Till both were old, their hearts yet light and gay.

Then, they slept sweetly, side by side, near by

A favorite stream they oft had gazed upon,

Meek christians said they hoped that love so rare

Had full fruition found, in brighter worlds.

It is a happy story, and my eyes,

Have poured their pearl upon these pages here,

That tell so dear a tale. Oh! God be praised,

If such a fate befall my love and me.
