Manuscript:
Transcription:
Perhaps a squirrel may remain -
My sentiments to share -
Grant me, O Lord, a sunny mind -
They windy will to bear!
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers
Untouched by Morning -
And untouched by Noon -
Sleep the Meek Members of the
Resurrection -
Rafter of Satin,
And Roof of Stone.
Light laughs the breeze
In her Castle above them -
Babbles the Bee in a stolid Ear,
Pipe the Sweet Birds in ignorant
cadence -
Ah, what sagacity perished here!
