I am fading away to the land of the blest,
Like the last lingering hues of the event,
Reclining my head on my kind angels breast,
I soah to my own native heaven.
My warfare is finished--the battle is won,
To a crown and a throne I aspire.
My coursets are brighter than steed of the sun,
Free them from
hence by eternity's light. E.C.S.
