Received their clay within its voiceless halls.

"The heavens that bend above that land are hung

With clouds of various hues; some dark and chill,

Surcharged with sorrow, cast their sombre shade

Upon the sunny, joyous land below;

Others are floating through the dreamy air,

White as the falling snow, their margins tinged

With gold and crimson hues; their shadows fall

Upon the flowery meads and sunny slopes,

Soft as the shadows of an angel's wing.
