A gentle spirit now above |
Once animated what lies here |
Till heav'n announc'd in tenderest love "Ascend Immortal to yon sphere." |
The lambkin at the great behest Gave up its life without one groan. When lo! in robes supernal drest He found the bright abodes his own! |
Most glorious and delightful scenes Rush'd full upon his raptur'd sense: |
Beyond what fancy ever dreams, |
Or Eden knew in innocence. |
Adieu! Adieu! my sweest boy, Adieu till life's vain dream be o'er; |
Then with a parent's keenest joy, I'll cling to Thee to part no more. |
