And blooming progeny?
If I without thee mount above,
'Twill be no heav'n to me.

Beneath this midnight shade;
From central darkness now emerge,
And tread the lonely glade.

O'er the unconscious dead,
With no spectator to thy woe
But my attendant shade.

Not such the calmness there;
But waves of guilt tumultuous roll
'Midst billows of despair.

Tell me thou all pervading mind,
When I this life forsake,
Must ev'ry tender tie unbind,
Each sweet connection break?
