MISCELLA]q EOUS POEMS. As swi? as sever'd streams combine, Their parting barrier ro!i'd away, My kindred soul shall blend with thine, When broken from its bonds of clay. By day, when danger round thee teems, I'll warn thee of.the peril near, By night, I'll whisper to thy dreams, And guard thy slumbers well from fear; And breathe such music in thine ear, As soothes the sainted, when they die, Or, rob'd in radiant light, appear In visions to thine inward eye. But should'st thou first, by God's high will, Be taken from this world of woe, No fear the fatal shaft should kill, I sink beneath the self-same blow; As tree?, that cannot meet below, Will intertwine their boughs above, On high our deathless souls shall know The union of immortal love. 175 ......... ?Google
