High up, with many a cloistered lawn,

And chapelled gallery widely spread,

Extends, flower-dressed at eve and dawn,

The happy “City of the Dead.”

There musing sit I, day by day;

I sing my psalm; I pray for thee:

“If men could love, not hate,” I say,

“How like to heaven this earth would be!”

V.

Love bound a veil above my brow;
