And holy courage did pervade thy woe,
As light the troubled waters! Be at peace!
Thou whose bright spirit made itself the soul
Of all that were around thee! And thy life
E’en then was struck and withering at the core!
Farewell! thy parting look hath on me fallen,
E’en as a gleam of heaven, and I am now
More like what thou hast been. My soul is hush’d;
For a still sense of purer worlds hath sunk
And settled on its depths with that last smile
