OH! art thou still on earth, my love? My only love! Or smiling in a brighter home, Far, far above. Oh! is thy sweet voice fled, my love? Thy light step gone? And art thou not, in earth or heaven, Still, still my own? I see thee with thy gleaming hair, In midnight dreams! But cold, and clear, and spirit-like, Thy soft eye seems. Peace, in thy saddest hour, my love; Dwelt on thy brow; But something mournfully divine There shineth now! And silent ever is thy lip, And pale thy cheek; -- Oh! art thou earth's, or art thou heaven's?
