1 bere is no deatü ! 1 fie stars go üown ïo eliiuc upou sonie fairer shore, And bright in heaveu's jeweled-erown To shiue fovevcrmorc. There is no death ! The (lust we treart Slmll thnnge beneath tlie sunnncr showers To golden giain, or melloiv fruit, Or rainbow-tinted flowers. Tliere is no death! tlie leaves may fa.ll, The flowers mav fade and pass away - They only wait tnrough wintry houri The coming of the Hay. There is no death! An angel furni Walls o' er the earth with silent trend. He bears our beet belov'd away, And theuwe eall tliem "dead." Ho leaves our hearts all desolate, He plueks our fairest, sweetest flowers, Transplanted into bliss. üwy " - iiL.-imnrorrítrT)owirs. . Tlie bird-ltke voice, whose joyous Iones Make glad tliis seene of sin" and strife, tiings iioiï In everlasting song Amid the trees of lile. And when he sees a smile too bright, Or hearts too pure for taint and vice, Ue beais them to tbat world of ligh, To dweil in paradise. Bom in that undyiug life, Thcv leaïf us b'ut to come again ; With joy fv weleome them - the same Exei'pt in sln and pain. And ever near us though unseen, The dear iinniortal s))iritë ti-ead, For all the boundless unlverse Is life - tliere are no deail.
