PSYCHE BORNE BY ZEPHYRS.
193


    The breezy music wandering
    There through the Elysian sky,
Hath no deep tone that seems to float
    From a happier time gone by:

    And there the day's last crimson
    Gives no sad memories birth;
No thought of dead or distant friends,
    Or partings—as on earth.

    Yet fearfully and mournfully
    Thou bidd'st that earth farewell,
Although thou'rt passing, loveliest one,
    In a brighter land to dwell.

    A land where all is deathless—
    The sunny wave's repose,
The wood, with its rich melodies,
    The summer and the rose.
