With a resistless energy. She clasped
Her boy convulsively, and he had lived
To quicken, in its gifted elements,
The radiant spirit written on his brow,
But a high strengthening she knew not of,
Awakened her, and pressing down her lips
In a long fervent kiss upon his cheek,
She hushed him into peace, and lifting up
Her face to heaven, she breathed the name of God,
And laid him down—for ever!
