Classic Poem

Love lives beyond
The tomb—the earth—which fades like dew
I love the fond
The faithfull & the true

Love lives in sleep
The happiness of healthy dreams
Eve's dews may weep
But love delightfull seems.

Tis seen in flowers
& in the evens pearly dew
On earths green hours
& in the heavens eternal blue.

Tis heard in spring
When light & sunbeams warm & kind
On angels wing
Bring love & music to the mind.

& where is voice
So young & beautifully sweet
As natures choice
When spring & lovers meet.

Love lives beyond
The tomb the earth the flowers & dew
I love the fond
The faithfull young & true.
