HEAVEN lent our lives one cheery ray - One tinge of dawn to lure our sight As prelude of a love-lit day, Whose tint no cloud should bear away - Then turned its radiance to Bereavement's night. But yet thy nature's morn is bright - O tender gleam, not darkly gone, For thou hast winged thine infant flight To give back glory of maturer light - Sweet baby Soul forever beaming on! A brief and broken ray no more, Pure little Life in memory shine - May glow from glad celestial shore Thy being's rosy dawn restore - Relumined envoy of a day divine! |
