To court thy anxious eyes | G |

The broken reed the open tomb | H |
Above thee is THY GOD | E |

Look up thy head too long has been | I |
Bowed darkly toward the earth | J |
Thou son of a most Royal Sire | F |

And struggling onward to the grave | K |
In weariness and pain | L |

What wouldst thou with this world thy home | M |
Thy country is not here | F |
'Mid faded flowers and perished bloom | H |
And shadows dense and drear | F |
Thy home is where the tree of Life | N |
Waves high its fruitage blest | E |
'Mid bowers with fadeless beauties rife | N |
Look up and claim thy rest | E |
