WHERE IS SEEN A YOUNG MAIDEN DEAD IN THE ACT OF DEPARTING	A
TAKING LEAVE OF HER FAMILY	B
	-
	-
Where goest thou Who calls	C
Thee from my dear ones far away	D
Most lovely maiden say	D
Alone a wanderer dost thou leave	E
Thy father's roof so soon	F
Wilt thou unto its threshold e'er return	G
Wilt thou make glad one day	D
Those who now round thee weeping mourn	H
	-
Fearless thine eye and spirited thy act	I
And yet thou too art sad	J
If pleasant or unpleasant be the road	K
If gay or gloomy be the new abode	K
To which thou journeyest indeed	L
In that grave face how difficult to read	M
Ah hard to me the problem still hath seemed	N
Not hath the world perhaps yet understood	O
If thou beloved or hated by the gods	P
If happy or unhappy shouldst be deemed	N
	-
Death calls thee in thy morn of life	Q
Its latest breath Unto the nest	R
Thou leavest thou wilt ne'er return wilt ne'er	S
The faces of thy kindred more behold	T
And under ground	U
The place to which thou goest will be found	U
And for all time will be thy sojourn there	S
Happy perhaps thou art but he must sigh	V
Who thoughtful contemplates thy destiny	B
	-
Ne'er to have seen the light e'en at the time	W
I think but born e'en at the time	W
When regal beauty all her charms displays	X
Alike in form and face	Y
And at her feet the admiring world	Z
Its distant homage pays	X
When every hope is in its flower	A2
Long long ere dreary winter flash	B2
His baleful gleams against the joyous brow	C2
Like vapor gathered in the summer cloud	D2
That melting in the evening sky is seen	E2
To disappear as if one ne'er had been	F2
And to exchange the brilliant days to come	G2
For the dark silence of the tomb	H2
The intellect indeed	L
May call this happiness but still	I2
It may the stoutest breasts with pity fill	I2
	-
Thou mother dreaded and deplored	J2
From birth by all the world that lives	K2
Nature ungracious miracle	L2
That bringest forth and nourishest to kill	I2
If death untimely be an evil thing	A
Why on these innocent heads	M2
Wilt thou that evil bring	A
If good why why	V
Beyond all other misery	B
To him who goes to him who must remain	N2
Hast thou such parting crowned with hopeless pain	N2
	-
Wretched where'er we look	O2
Whichever way we turn	G
Thy suffering children are	P2
Thee it hath pleased that youthful hope	Q2
Should ever be by life beguiled	R2
The current of our years with woes be filled	S2
And death against all ills the only shield	T2
And this inevitable seal	U2
And this immutable decree	B
Hast thou assigned to human destiny	B
Why after such a painful race	Y
Should not the goal at least	V2
Present to us a cheerful face	Y
Why that which we in constant view	W2
Must while we live forever bear	S
Sole comfort in our hour of need	L
Thus dress in weeds of woe	X2
And gird with shadows so	X2
And make the friendly port to us appear	Y2
More frightful than the tempest drear	Y2
	-
If death indeed be a calamity	B
Which thou intendest for us all	Z2
Whom thou against our knowledge and our will	I2
Hast forced to draw this mortal breath	A3
Then surely he who dies	B3
A lot more enviable hath	C3
Then he who feels his loved one's death	A3
But if the truth it be	B
As I most firmly think	D3
That life is the calamity	B
And death the boon alas who ever could	O
What yet he should	O
Desire the dying day of those so dear	Y2
That he may linger here	Y2
Of his best self deprived	E3
May see across his threshold borne	H
The form beloved of her	Y2
With whom so many years he lived	E3
And say to her farewell	F3
Without the hope of meeting here again	G3
And then alone on earth to dwell	F3
And looking round the hours and places all	Z2
Of lost companionship recall	Z2
	-
Ah Nature how how couldst thou have the heart	H3
From the friend's arms the friend to tear	Y2
The brother from the brother part	H3
The father from the child	R2
The lover from his love	I3
And killing one the other keep alive	J3
What dire necessity	B
Compels such misery	B
That lover should the loved one e'er survive	J3
But Nature in her cruel dealings still	I2
Pays little heed unto our good or ill	I2
