Send thee a silvery voice that whispers ‘Come!

Then, with the glory from the rose,

With the sparkle from the stream,

With the light thy rainbow-presence throws

Over the poet’s dream;

With all th’ Elysian hues

Thy pathway that suffuse,

With joy, with music, from the fading grove,

Take me, too, heavenward on thy wing, sweet Love!”

MUSIC AT A DEATHBED.
