SUPP0SED TO BE WRITTEN BY ONE... (2) - ZaunköniG - 26.12.2010 SUPP0SED TO BE WRITTEN BY ONE ON WHOM THE DEATH OF AN EXCELLENT WOMAN HAS FORCED THE CONVICTION OF A FUTURE STATE. O'erladen with sad musings, till the tear Sprang to the pressure, I survey'd thy tomb, All drest in flowers, as though above thy bier, Thy breath, yet hovering, fed the gentle bloom ; I said, ' Maria, though I deem'd too long I'hat souls would fade like music on the air, Hast thou not brought me confirmation strong That they shall yet be beautiful elsewhere ? For thine was so immaculate and rare, That but the thought of thy deep purity, Link'd with that other thought, I could not bear ; Mount then ! bright soul ! and take thy place on high ; I do confess thou wert so good and fair That such as thou were never born to die ! The bliss of Heaven, Maria, shall be thine ! Joy link'd to joy by amaranthine bond ! And a fair harp of many strings divine Shall meet thy touch with unimagined sound ! Meek angel-hood shall dwell within thine eye, Fed by the action of thy purer soul ; Thy brow shall beam with fairer dignity — No more thy cheek shall blench with Care's control, Nor yield its hues to changes of the heart, That beats with plenitude of life and woe — Taking all dyes that sorrow can impart. Or ever-shifting circumstance bestow : The prey of present pangs or after- smart, For ever feeling pain or missing bliss below. |
