. Sunshine and roses . .^ ^.-.^^o^^r^n^mi. \v\ Loved ones, do not so tearful be!Weep for yourselves but not for go to taste the sweet unknownAnd serve Omniscience on His throne,While you are left to bear the strifeAnd constant sorrows of this only I who should shed tearsFor you, yet periled many years. Life once was bright and gay to me,Alluring as the summer sea,And I was prone to think its blissWas consummated I behold its joys a dream,Scarcely an earnest of the gleamOf the iridescent worlds that lieIn spirit lands of earth and sky. 88
