There give thy griefs full vent to flow O'er the unconscious dead, With no spectator to thy woe
But my attendant shade.

How shall I leave thee, oh! my love, And blooming progeny? If I without thee mount above,
'Twill be no heav'n to me.

Tell me thou all pervading mind, When I this life forsake, Must ev'ry tender tie unbind,
Each sweet connection break?

Though such the darkness of my soul, Not such the calmness there; But waves of guilt tumultuous roll
'Midst billows of despair.

Come Grief, and sing a solemn dirge Beneath this midnight shade; From central darkness now emerge,
And tread the lonely glade.
