THE CHAMBER OF REST.
And the curtains cling damply, all covered with mould,
In that, my last Chamber of Rest.

But though long on my eyelids the death-slumber lies,
I shall wake to a happiness blest,
If the bright morning-angel who bids me arise
Have the dear loving voice, and the dewy blue eyes
Which woke me that morn with a joyful surprise,
In the Beautiful Chamber of Rest!
