Severed and gone so many years	A
And art thou still so dear to me	B
That throbbing heart and burning tears	C
Can witness how I cling to thee	B
I know that in the narrow tomb	D
The form I loved was buried deep	E
And left in silence and in gloom	D
To slumber out its dreamless sleep	E
	-
I know the corner where it lies	F
Is but a dreary place of rest	G
The charnel moisture never dries	F
From the dark flagstones o'er its breast	G
	-
For there the sunbeams never shine	H
Nor ever breathes the freshening air	I
But not for this do I repine	H
For my beloved is not there	I
	-
O no I do not think of thee	B
As festering there in slow decay	J
'Tis this sole thought oppresses me	B
That thou art gone so far away	J
	-
For ever gone for I by night	K
Have prayed within my silent room	D
That Heaven would grant a burst of light	K
Its cheerless darkness to illume	D
	-
And give thee to my longing eyes	F
A moment as thou shinest now	H
Fresh from thy mansion in the skies	F
With all its glories on thy brow	H
	-
Wild was the wish intense the gaze	L
I fixed upon the murky air	I
Expecting half a kindling blaze	L
Would strike my raptured vision there	I
	-
A shape these human nerves would thrill	M
A majesty that might appal	M
Did not thy earthly likeness still	M
Gleam softly gladly through it all	M
	-
False hope vain prayer it might not be	B
That thou shouldst visit earth again	H
I called on Heaven I called on thee	B
And watched and waited all in vain	H
	-
Had I one shining tress of thine	H
How it would bless these longing eyes	F
Or if thy pictured form were mine	H
What gold should rob me of the prize	F
	-
A few cold words on yonder stone	H
A corpse as cold as they can be	B
Vain words and mouldering dust alone	H
Can this be all that's left of thee	B
	-
O no thy spirit lingers still	M
Where'er thy sunny smile was seen	H
There's less of darkness less of chill	M
On earth than if thou hadst not been	H
	-
Thou breathest in my bosom yet	N
And dwellest in my beating heart	O
And while I cannot quite forget	N
Thou darling canst not quite depart	O
	-
Though freed from sin and grief and pain	H
Thou drinkest now the bliss of Heaven	H
Thou didst not visit earth in vain	H
And from us yet thou art not riven	H
	-
Life seems more sweet that thou didst live	P
And men more true that thou wert one	H
Nothing is lost that thou didst give	Q
Nothing destroyed that thou hast done	H
	-
Earth hath received thine earthly part	O
Thine heavenly flame has heavenward flown	H
But both still linger in my heart	O
Still live and not in mine alone	H
