And the sweet breathings low,

Of babes that grew and faded on her breast;

If then the dove-like tone

Of those faint murmurs gone,

O’er her sick sense too piercingly return;

If for the soft bright hair,

And brow and bosom fair,

And life, now dust, her soul too deeply yearn;

O gentle forms, entwined

Like tendrils, which the wind
