lirik lagu richard mitchley - on a dead child
perfect little body, without fault or stain on thee
with promise of strength and manhood full and fair!
though cold and stark and bare
the bloom and the charm of life doth awhile remain on thee
thy mother’s treasure wert thou;—alas! no longer
to visit her heart with wondrous joy; to be
thy father’s pride;—ah, he
must gather his faith together, and his strength make stronger
to me, as i move thee now in the last duty
dost thou with a turn or gesture anon respond;
startling my fancy fond
with a chance attitude of the head, a freak of beauty
thy hand clasps, as ’twas won’t, my finger, and holds it:
but the grasp is thе clasp of death, heartbreaking and stiff;
yеt feels to my hand as if
’twas still thy will, thy pleasure and trust that enfolds it
so i lay thee there, thy sunken eyelids closing,—
go lie thou there in thy coffin, thy last little bed!—
propping thy wise, sad head
thy firm, pale hands across thy chest disposing
so quiet! doth the change content thee?—death, whither hath he taken thee?
to a world, do i think, that rights the disaster of this?
the vision of which i miss
who weep for the body, and wish but to warm thee and awaken thee?
ah! little at best can all our hopes avail us
to lift this sorrow, or cheer us, when in the dark
unwilling, alone we embark
and the things we have seen and have known and have heard of, fail us
