Hast thou thro' Eden's wild wood vales pursued	A
Each mountain scene magnificently rude	A
Nor with attention's lifted eye revered	B
That modest stone by pious Pembroke rear'd	B
Which still records beyond the pencil's power	C
The silent sorrows of a parting hour ROGERS	D
	-
Mother and child whose blending tears	E
Have sanctified the place	F
Where to the love of many years	G
Was given one last embrace	F
Oh ye have shrin'd a spell of power	C
Deep in your record of that hour	C
	-
A spell to waken solemn thought	H
A still small under tone	I
That calls back days of childhood fraught	H
With many a treasure gone	J
And smites perchance the hidden source	K
Tho' long untroubled of remorse	K
	-
For who that gazes on the stone	I
Which marks your parting spot	L
Who but a mother's love hath known	I
The one love changing not	L
Alas and haply learn'd its worth	M
First with the sound of 'Earth to earth '	-
	-
But thou high hearted daughter thou	N
O'er whose bright honour'd head	O
Blessings and tears of holiest flow	P
Ev'n here were fondly shed	O
Thou from the passion of thy grief	Q
In its full burst couldst draw relief	Q
	-
For oh tho' painful be th' excess	R
The might wherewith it swells	S
In nature's fount no bitterness	T
Of nature's mingling dwells	S
And thou hadst not by wrong or pride	U
Poison'd the free and healthful tide	U
	-
But didst thou meet the face no more	V
Which thy young heart first knew	W
And all was all in this world o'er	C
With ties thus close and true	W
It was On earth no other eye	X
Could give thee back thine infancy	Y
	-
No other voice could pierce the maze	Z
Where deep within thy breast	A2
The sounds and dreams of other days	Z
With memory lay at rest	A2
No other smile to thee could bring	B2
A gladd'ning like the breath of spring	B2
	-
Yet while thy place of weeping still	C2
Its lone memorial keeps	D2
While on thy name midst wood and hill	C2
The quiet sunshine sleeps	D2
And touches in each graven line	E2
Of reverential thought a sign	E2
	-
Can I while yet these tokens wear	F2
The impress of the dead	O
Think of the love embodied there	F2
As of a vision fled	O
A perish'd thing the joy and flower	C
And glory of one earthly hour	C
	-
Not so I will not bow me so	P
To thoughts that breathe despair	F2
A loftier faith we need below	P
Life's farewell words to bear	F2
Mother and child Your tears are past	G2
Surely your hearts have met at last	G2
