Of Life through Death, the
Passover divine! And gather all the gorgeous flowers
of gladness,
To deck with faith and hope each
walting heart, With friendship's stately palms to

Spread o'er the oaken board, of
simple kindness
The cloth of Truth, whose white-
ness satisfies; With million covers of a courteous
blindness
For what seem faults to our
exacting eyes,
