The sky was a dome of crystal bright,

The fountain of vision and fountain of light:

The emerald fields were of dazzling glow,

And the flowers of everlasting blow.

Then deep in the stream her body they laid,

That her youth and beauty never might fade;

And they smiled on Heaven when they saw her lie

In the stream of life that wandered by.

And she heard a song, she heard it sung,

She kenned not where, but so sweetly it rung,
