by Unknown

Stop it! no—but change the tone,

And joyfully, ah, joyfully,

Let the altered chimes ring on,

For the spirit that hath flown,

Exultingly, exultingly!

She hath left her couch of pain,

She shall never feel again,

But as angels feel!—afar,

Chimed beyond the morning star,

Agony and death unknown!
