Mrs. Anne Bradstreet.

Be silent and still, for his end draweth near,

And watch with a quivering breath;

No mortal eye beheld his birth,

But all shall behold his death,

For the nations from every land and clime

Shall gather to gaze on the close of Time.

The Moon shall look down with a tearful eye,

And the Sun shall withhold his fire,
