Children of Fate in the same breath	A
Created were they Love and Death	A
Such fair creations ne'er were seen	B
Or here below or in the heaven serene	B
The first the source of happiness	C
The fount whence flows the greatest bliss	D
That in the sea of being e'er is found	E
The last each sorrow gently lulls	F
Each harsh decree of Fate annuls	F
Fair child with beauty crowned	E
Sweet to behold not such	G
As cowards paint her in their fright	H
She in young Love's companionship	I
Doth often take delight	H
As they o'er mortal paths together fly	J
Chief comforters of every loyal heart	K
Nor ever is the heart more wise	F
Than when Love smites it nor defies	F
More scornfully life's misery	L
And for no other lord	M
Will it all dangers face so readily	L
When thou thy aid dost lend	N
O Love is courage born or it revives	F
And wise in deeds the race of man becomes	F
And not as it is prone	O
In fruitless thought alone	O
	-
And when first in our being's depth	P
This passion deep is born	Q
Though happy we are still forlorn	Q
A languor strange doth o'er us steal	R
A strange desire of death we feel	R
I know not why but such we ever prove	S
The first effect of true and potent love	T
It may be that this wilderness	F
Then first appals our sight	H
And earth henceforth to us a dreary waste	U
Appears without that new supreme delight	H
That in our thought is fondly traced	U
And yet our hearts foreboding feel the storm	V
Within that it may cause the misery	L
We long for rest we long to flee	L
Hoping some friendly haven may be found	E
Of refuge from the fierce desire	W
That raging roaring darkens all around	E
	-
And when this formidable power	W
Hath his whole soul possessed	X
And raging care will give his heart no rest	X
How many times implored	M
With most intense desire	W
Art thou O Death by the poor wretch forlorn	Q
How oft at eve how oft at dawn	Y
His weary frame upon the couch he throws	F
Too happy if he never rose	F
In hopeless conflict with his pain	Z
Nor e'er beheld the bitter light again	A2
And oft at sound of funeral bell	B2
And solemn chant that guides	F
Departed souls unto eternal rest	X
With sighs most ardent from his inmost breast	X
How hath he envied him	C2
Who with the dead has gone to dwell	B2
The very humblest of his kind	D2
The simple rustic hind who knows	F
No charm that knowledge gives	F
The lowliest country lass that lives	F
Who at the very thought of death	A
Doth feel her hair in horror rise	F
Will calmly face its agonies	F
Upon the terrors of the tomb will gaze	F
With fixed undaunted look	E2
Will o'er the steel and poison brood	F2
In meditative mood	F2
And in her narrow mind	D2
The kindly charm of dying comprehend	N
So much the discipline of Love	T
Hath unto Death all hearts inclined	D2
Full often when this inward woe	G2
Such pass has reached as mortal strength	H2
No longer can endure	I2
The feeble body yields at length	H2
To its fierce blows and timely then	A2
Benignant Death her friendly power doth show	G2
Or else Love drives her hapless victims so	G2
Alike the simple clown	J2
And tender country lass	F
That on themselves their desperate hands they lay	K2
And so are borne unto the shades below	G2
The world but laughs at their distress	F
Whom heaven with peace and length of days doth bless	F
To fervid happy restless souls	F
May fate the one or other still concede	L2
Sweet sovereigns friendly to our race	F
Whose power throughout the universe	F
Such miracles hath wrought	M2
As naught resembles nor can aught	M2
Save that of Fate itself exceed	M2
And thou whom from my earliest years	F
Still honored I invoke	N2
O lovely Death the only friend	M2
Of sufferers in this vale of tears	F
If I have ever sought	M2
Thy princely state to vindicate	M2
From the affronts of the ungrateful crowd	M2
Do not delay incline thy ear	O2
Unto thy weary suppliant here	O2
These sad eyes close forever to the light	M2
And let me rest in peace serene	B
O thou of all the ages Queen	B
Me surely wilt thou find whate'er the hour	W
When thou thy wings unfoldest to my prayer	P2
With front erect the cruel power	W
Defying still of Fate	M2
Nor will I praise in fulsome mood	M2
The scourging hand that with my blood	M2
The blood of innocence is stained	M2
Nor bless it as the human race	F
Is wont through custom old and base	F
Each empty hope with which the world	M2
Itself and children would beguile	Q2
I'll cast aside each comfort false and vile	Q2
In thee alone my hope I'll place	F
Thou welcome minister of grace	F
In that sole thought supremely blest	M2
That day when my unconscious head	M2
May on thy virgin bosom rest	M2
