Explore "To Ellen. "Sing me that Song! "" by Mary Baker Eddy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Sing me that song! My spirit is sad, / Life's pulses move fitful and slow; / A meeting with loved ones in dreams I have had, / Whose robes were as spotless as snow: / A phantom of joy, it fled with the light, / And left but a parting in air. / My soul is enchained to life's dreary night, / O sing me "Sweet hour of prayer"!
/ Ah, sleep, twin sister of death and of night! / My thoughts 'neath thy drap'ry still lie. / Alas! that from dreams so boundless and bright / We waken to life's dreary sigh. / Those moments most sweet are fleetest alway, / For love claspeth earth's raptures not long, / Till darkness and death like mist melt away, / To rise to a seraph's new song.
