Forgive Blest Shade the tributary tear
That mourns this call from a world
like this . Forgive the wish that would
have kept thee here. And stayed thy
progess to the seats of bliss.
No more confined to groveling scenes of night
No more a tenant rent in mortal day
Nor should we rather bar thy Glorious Flight
And trace Thy Journey to the realms of day .
