Last Lines
A spirit that shall sympathize with all.
And life be happier than our dreams!
Make such blessed visions real.
Of living when the hopes are dead!
Than that which dawned upon us here.
That I loved him, -- but I did.
The silent bleeding of the heart below.
Then you may tell me of heaven for ever!
To thy heart than mine would be!
Turn my thoughts from human love!
