Or break the eternal sabbath of his rest.

And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell.
On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest,
And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed.

While resignation gently slopes the way;
And, all his prospects brightening to the last,
His heaven commences ere the world be past.

Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy!
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy;
Dreams cannot picture a world so fair--
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom,
For beyond the clouds, and beyond the tomb,
It is there, it is there, my child!

The woes of man: Heaven doom'd the Greeks to bleed.
