ONLY THIS.
If I might choose my latest thought Should be of her. Whose beauty onco at Love's pure shrine First made this wayward heart of mine Its worshipper. x In death's dread hour my faltering tongue Should brea he the name Of one beloved in earlier days. Who first inspired my artless lays And dream ot fame. Our lives aro severed ; but our souls In oueness blend. There is a love unseen that springs Apart from all material things, Unto thi9 end. And when my spirit shall be freed From earthly strife, Her painted presence I may meet In regions moat divinely sweet With sinless life. Not seraph form of dazzling light, Nor angel fair, Could yield me so divine a bliss As that I intimate in this, Our meeting there. A. W. Hurry. Holensyille.
