the lonely grave.
201
Gratitude! thou hallowed guest!
Thrice welcome to my heart!
I hail thee as a precious gift,
Nor from thee will I part
Till I have poured my spirit forth,
O maidens! unto thee,
In grateful strains for kindness shown
To one so dear to me.
Thrice welcome to my heart!
I hail thee as a precious gift,
Nor from thee will I part
Till I have poured my spirit forth,
O maidens! unto thee,
In grateful strains for kindness shown
To one so dear to me.
