When I am hearsed within,—

Less than the pallid primrose to the Moon,

That now she watches through a vapor thin.

So let it be:—Before I lived to sigh,

Thou wert in Avon, and a thousand rills,

Beautiful Orb! and so, whene'er I lie

Trodden, thou wilt be gazing from thy hills.

Blest be thy loving light, where'er it spills,

And blessëd thy fair face, O Mother mild!
