Death's breast
Breathe to more
Of fetter's to! tears my thoughts and
In the midst the trees at cool of the day walked, a while man midst of His Son beloved.
Awaits the soul in yon where ever is carved in verdure
a And love is gleaned upon their Ye verdant trees although your leaves do decay, drop and fade away.
A paradise of evergreens and blooms In far-stretched glory lies beyond the tomb.
Then O my soul come quickly, haste away To share those glories in the realm of day To wander neath the shades of Eden's bowers And breathe the fragrance of its blooming flowers
