LIFE EVERLASTING. — Continual happiness. 
Mayst thou long, sweet crimson gem, 
Richly deck thy native stem; 
TiU some evening, sober, calm, 
Dropping dews and breathing balm, 
While all around the woodland rings, 
And every bird thy requiem sings; 
Thou, amid the dirgeful sound, 
Shed thy dying honors round, 
And resign to parent earth, 
The loveliest form she e’er gave birth.
