Swift as the sun revolves the day

Farewell this barren land,
There, there the Dear wealth of spirits lies
And beckoning Angels stand.

Come courteous friend, come drop a tear
Over these dry bones & say:
These once were strong as mine appear
And mine must be as they,
Thus shold these mouldering members teach
What now our senses learn,
For dust & ashes loudest preach Man's infinite concern.

You sacred mourners of a nobler mould
Born for a friend whose dear embraces hold
Beyond all nature's ties you that have known,
Two happy souls made intimately one,
And felt a parting stroke,
'tis you must tell, The smart twinges & the racks I feel borne,
This soul of mine that dreadful wound has
Off from its side its dearest half is torn,
The rest lies bleeding & but lives to mourn.
