lirik lagu emma topping - a death scene

“o day! he cannot die
when thou so fair art shining!
o sun, in such a glorious sky
so tranquilly declining;

he cannot leave thee now
while fresh west winds are blowing
and all around his youthful brow
thy cheerful light is glowing!

edward, awake, awake
the golden evening gleams
warm and bright on arden’s lake
arouse thee from thy dreams!

beside thee, on my knee
my dearest friend, i pray
that thou, to cross the eternal sea
wouldst yet one hour delay:

i hear its billows roar
i see them foaming high;
but no glimpse of a further shore
has blest my straining eye

believe not what they urge
of eden isles beyond;
turn back, from that tempestuous surge
to thy own native land
it is not death, but pain
that struggles in thy breast
nay, rally, edward, rouse again;
i cannot let thee rest!”

one long look, that sore reproved me
for the woe i could not bear
one mute look of suffering moved me
to repent my useless prayer:

and, with sudden check, the heaving
of distraction passed away;
not a sign of further grieving
stirred my soul that awful day

paled, at length, the sweet sun setting;
sunk to peace the twilight breeze:
summer dews fell softly, wetting
glen, and glade, and silent trees

then his eyes began to weary
weighed beneath a mortal sleep;
and their orbs grew strangely dreary
clouded, even as they would weep

but they wept not, but they changed not
never moved, and never closed;
troubled still, and still they ranged not
wandered not, nor yet reposed!
so i knew that he was dying
stooped, and raised his languid head;
felt no breath, and heard no sighing
so i knew that he was dead
