The grave of a Child.
Come, see the grassy bed
Where our companion lies,
And mid your tears, remember well
His buried dust shall rise.
Where our companion lies,
And mid your tears, remember well
His buried dust shall rise.
20
The seed that sown in earth
Is hidden from the eye,
At length puts forth the leaf, the bud,
The flower of radiant dye.
Is hidden from the eye,
At length puts forth the leaf, the bud,
The flower of radiant dye.
When wintry storms are past,
Spring decks the verdant tree,
And at the resurrection-morn
Such shall his rising be.
Spring decks the verdant tree,
And at the resurrection-morn
Such shall his rising be.
