PSYCHE BORNE BY ZEPHYRS
TO THE
ISLAND OF PLEASURE.
Written for a Picture.
Fearfully and mournfully
Thou bidd'st the earth farewell,
And yet thou'rt passing, loveliest one!
In a brighter land to dwell.
Ascend, ascend rejoicing!
The sunshine of that shore
Around thee, as a glorious robe,
Shall stream for evermore.
