While, in its depths withdrawn, far, far away,
I see the dawn of a diviner day,
And hear celestial harmonies that come
Burdened with love from thine elysian home.
For in that gorgeous world, I fondly deem,
Dwells the freed soul of one whose earthly dream
Was full of beauty, majesty and wo —
One who, in that pure realm of thine, doth grow
Into a power serene—a solemn joy,
Undimmed by earthly sorrow or alloy;
