DEATH HAS ROBBED HIM IN ONE MOMENT OF THE FRUIT OF HIS LIFE | B |

From life's long storm of trouble and of tears | C |
Love show'd a tranquil haven and fair end | D |
'Mid better thoughts which riper age attend | D |
That vice lays bare and virtue clothes and cheers | E |
She saw my true heart free from doubts and fears | E |
And its high faith which could no more offend | D |
Ah cruel Death how quick wert thou to rend | D |
In so few hours the fruit of many years | E |
A longer life the time had surely brought | D |
When in her chaste ear my full heart had laid | D |
The ancient burthen of its dearest thought | D |
And she perchance might then have answer made | D |
Forth sighing some blest words whilst white and few | F |
Our locks became and wan our cheeks in hue | F |
