XXXI. A Child's Death.
The little hands clasp thee,
And tenderly tighten,
To keep thee, to grasp thee;
The little eyes brighten.
And tenderly tighten,
To keep thee, to grasp thee;
The little eyes brighten.
What is her vision?
Of Paradise portal,
Meadows Elysian
And rivers immortal?
Of Paradise portal,
Meadows Elysian
And rivers immortal?
She is gone:—her white finger
Unlocks and uncloses.
Why should she linger
After the roses?
Unlocks and uncloses.
Why should she linger
After the roses?
