9.

But thou and thine shall know no blight,

Whatever fate on me may fall;

For heaven in sunshine will requite

The kind-and thee the most of all

10.

Then let the ties of baffled love

Be broken-thine will never break;

Thy heart can feel-but will not move;

Thy soul, though soft, will never shake.

11.

And these, when all was lost beside,

Were found and still are fixed in thee

And bearing still a breast so tried,

Earth is no desart-ev'n to me.

1.

BRIGHT be the place of thy soul!

No lovelier spirit than thine

E'er burst from its mortal control,

In the orbs of the blessed to shine.

On earth thou wert all but divine,

As thy soul shall immortally be;

And our sorrow may cease to repine,

When we know that thy God is with thee.

2.

Light be the turf of thy tomb!

May its verdure like emeralds be:

There should not be the shadow of gloom,
In aught that reminds us of thee.

Young flowers and an evergreen tree
May spring from the spot of thy rest:
But nor cypress nor yew let us see;

For why should we mourn for the blest?

1.

WHEN We two parted

In silence and tears,

Half broken-hearted

To sever for years,

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

Colder thy kiss;

Truly that hour foretold

Sorrow to this.

2.

The dew of the morning

Sunk chill on my brow

It felt like the warning

Of what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken,

And light is thy fame;

I hear thy name spoken,

And share in its shame.

3.

They name thee before me,

A knell to mine ear;

A shudder comes o'er me

Why wert thou so dear?
