Gone, but not for ever.
Death with his cruel blade swept by, One glorious Sunimei's day, And thou, alas ! wast doomed to die, Thou coulds't not disobey, Flashed in the air the quivering steel, Lifeless, I saw thee fall 5 And o'er ray spirit, tiue and leal, Fell sorrow'B funeral pall. Yet thou, t know, wilt rise again, Nobler and more grand at last ; let me not my loss complain, My loved, lny lost moustache. — " Scindian."
