THE silver cord is loosed he said	A
The golden bowl is broken	B
A few more prayers having been prayed	C
A few more love words spoken	B
I shall turn my face unto the wall	D
And sleeping not be woken	B
Is it a better place my child	E
That thou art gone unto	F
Upon this earth that thou hast left	G
Hadst thou not much to do	F
Would not thy joys have been a crowd	H
And thy troubles small and few	F
Beauty and rank and friends and wealth	I
Genius and excellence	J
Could not all these thy heritage	K
Win thee from hastening hence	L
Was the soul so much more unto thee	M
Than joys of mind and sense	L
And bending with an English grace	N
The ladies of our isle	O
With their soft curls and their virgin eyes	P
Which look so sweet the while	O
Had given thee for thy nobleness	P
A precious golden smile	O
These will not now be thine thy life's	P
Appointed period	Q
Being past o'er thou liest on	R
The folded pinions broad	S
Of the Seraph who is bearing thee	M
Up through the sun to God	T
It has a solemn sound to God	T
And strange high thoughts it weaves	P
Of a garden where the Tree of Life	U
Its mystic shadow gives	P
And the music of the rapid worlds	P
Is the wind that stirs the leaves	P
Surely it is a better place	P
Wealth shuts not there his ken	V
From woes his heart yearns to assuage	W
Nor noble origin	B
Wounds him by lessening trust betwixt	X
Him and his fellow men	V
Nor friends die from him but instead	A
Come to him where he is	P
Nor Passion rank with evil joys	P
And worse satieties	P
Pouting her crimson lips at him	Y
Layeth her cheek to his	P
Nor priests be there like a bad dream	Z
That at your bed's foot stands	P
All night and yet it goes at last	A2
Nor moans of king curst lands	P
Make his breast heave and his pale brow	B2
To drop into his hands	P
But Love walks always with him now	B2
And Faith not chained but free	M
And Hope bent forward and with hair	C2
Held back continually	M
To hear the distant chariot wheels	P
And wise calm Charity	M
