THE DEATH OF THE VIRTUOUS
Sweet is the scene when virtue dies!
When sinks a righteous soul to rest, How mildly beam the closing cyes,
How gently heaves th' expiring breast!
So fades a suguner cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er, So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies a wave along the shore.
Triumphant smiles the victor brow,
Fenned by some angel's purple wing Where is, O gravel thy victory now?
And where, insidious death! thy sting?
Farewell, conflicting joys and fears,
Where light and shade alternate dwelli How bright the unchanging mom appearsl-
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell
Its duty done, was sinks the day,
Light from its load the spirit fliess While heaven and earth combine to say
Swent is the scene when vittue dieal” Anna Laetitia Berbárki.
