But, O, that voice, so low and sweet!

I ne’er shall hear it more;

The fond, warm heart hath ceased to beat—

My dream of bliss is o’er.

And still another picture there—

A being young and bright;

The captive sunbeams in her hair,

A form of love and light;

The deep blue tints that stain the sky,

When summer bids it gleam,
