So ready from the shore of life to spring, Weeping for summer days of hope oeg past, I still look back with envy's poignant sting, And view departed joys Whio yet no joys possessed. Farth, sun, vales, hattire, beautiful and fair For you, on death's dark verge, a tear I'll shed; ho lovol, is the light, so pure the air, Thatshines and breathos around the dy ing head.
