Thy place in Paradise

Beyond where I could soar;

Friend of this worthless heart! but happier thoughts 5

Spring like unbidden violets from the sod,

Where patiently thou tak’st

Thy sweet and sure repose.

The shadows fall more soothing, the soft air

Is full of cheering whispers like thine own; 10

While Memory, by thy grave,

Lives o’er thy funeral day;
