123
But the tempest gathered fast,
And wildly the clouds were driven,
And the star was lost, as their dark folds passed,
But I knew it was still in heaven.
And wildly the clouds were driven,
And the star was lost, as their dark folds passed,
But I knew it was still in heaven.
So, like that lovely flower,
And like that rainbow's light,
And like the bird of the summer bower,
And the glittering star of night;
Hath thy loved one, in life's pure spring,
From thy fond embraces riven,
Been borne away on an angel's wing,
To dwell in the light of heaven.
And like that rainbow's light,
And like the bird of the summer bower,
And the glittering star of night;
Hath thy loved one, in life's pure spring,
From thy fond embraces riven,
Been borne away on an angel's wing,
To dwell in the light of heaven.
