Subject(s): Death; Eyes; Faces; Grief; Dead, The; Sorrow; Sadness
THY face, so lovely and serene,
In vision I have lately seen;
So like an angel's 'tis, and meek,
Though bitter grief has blanch'd thy cheek.
Thy lips alone, they still are red;
Death soon will kiss them pale and dead;
The heavenly light will soon be o'er
That from thine eyes is wont to pour.
