LIV. ON THE APPROACH OF A SISTER'S DEATH.
Spirit who risest to eternal day,
O hear me in thy flight!
Detain thee longer on that opening way
I would not if I might.
O hear me in thy flight!
Detain thee longer on that opening way
I would not if I might.
Methinks a thousand come between us two
Whom thou wouldst rather hear:
Fraternal love thou smilest on; but who
Are they that press more near?
Whom thou wouldst rather hear:
Fraternal love thou smilest on; but who
Are they that press more near?
The sorrowful and innocent and wrong'd,
Yes, these are more thy own,
For these wilt thou be pleading seraph-tongued
(How soon!) before the Throne.
Yes, these are more thy own,
For these wilt thou be pleading seraph-tongued
(How soon!) before the Throne.
