“I pray no selfish grief may view
This day with mournful eyes,
Or with reproachful words pursue
Our way to paradise.
“But let your mother lift her brow
To Faith’s serenest light;
To one as innocent as thou,
Life’s last hour shines most bright.”
A subtle radiance from his wings
Upon the child was shed;
The angel mounting upward, sings:
“Poor mother! thy child is dead.”
