Smiling in death!
What did’st thou, baby, see,
Which made thee smile on me,
When Death stood near to thee,
Stealing thy breath?
A gleam of sweet surprise
Lit up thy languid eyes,
And polish’d brow;
And the same heavenly ray
Around thy lips did play,
Smiling in death!
What did’st thou, baby, see,
Which made thee smile on me,
When Death stood near to thee,
Stealing thy breath?
A gleam of sweet surprise
Lit up thy languid eyes,
And polish’d brow;
And the same heavenly ray
Around thy lips did play,
