She pass'd away like morning dew
Before the sun was High.
So brief her time , she scarcely knew
The meaning of a sigh .
As round the rose its soft perfume ,
Sweet love around her floated ,
Admired she grew ------while mortal doom
Crept on, unfeared , unnoted .
Love was her guardian Angel here ,
But Love to Death resign'd her ,
Tho' Love was kind , why should we fear ,
But holy Death is kinder ?
All it took , was one sweet bite ,
His Love was all around her ,
She knew he'd never love her true
But she was the sweetest blood he knew.
Time to enter into Hell's open gate ,
Wonder if he is still filled with Hate ,
Least he knew that it was Love that would forever win her.
Yes , Death ----- is much kinder ...... But Love pervails ......
