' . .. . .
Thou art gone—but not with thy breath is gone The stainless truth through thy life that shone , And to all its course a pure lustre gave , As the gem-sands light some fairy wave . Thou art gone—but thy virtues yet remain To brighten our hearts in the midst of pain , As the sunbeams rest on the mountain snow , When night has shadowed the vales below . We will think of thee , and thy memory still Snail flow through our hearts like a sacred rill , Which hallows the shore that its waves go by , And though born from earth , reflects the sky . Thou art goiie- ^ -but the thought of all thou hast been Survives the grave we have sadly seen ; And thy spirit with us outlives life's close , As the perfume breathes o ' er the faded rose .
Soon was thy path in this cold world trod , — Early thy spirit was called to God , — JUke the mist by the pure night-rainbow spanned , Exhaled to brighten a starrier land . jMay we keep our hearts as thine was kept , That tlie tears we weep may for us be wept ! May we pass like thee through pleasure and pain , That the Jost and the living may meet again ! Thy task is done , and thy star-wreath twined—We are yfct in the world thou hast left behind , To walk , by the twilight of Time ' s dim sky , To the burning dawn of Eternity . JFar $ wdl- ^ bu t not for ever—farewell 1 There ' s a golden world where the pure shall dwell ; ^ r- , . , t All tears will be wiped on that radiant shore , And the mourned and the mourner will part no more , Crediton *
