lines on the death of H.PHILIPS.Far from bright Heaven-crowned heights ourbrotherDost thou look still?For all vainly we may seek anotherThy place to till.Our hearts breathe one long knell,In manhood’s prime farewell!Thy proud life was yet no westering slopeWhere sunk the sun;But glowing eastern gate of love and hopeAnd work well done!Our hearts breathe one long knell In manhood's pnrne farewell!No perfect rounded life is ever vain,Tho’ brief its span;We still must plead that death can bold somegainFor stricken man,Tho’ sad hearts breathe one knell,Brother and friend farewell IThy home is happy! For the angels keptThy treasure trove;For all the sorrow that thy soul hath weptIs added love!But O, we breathe one knell.Friend of our souls farewell!Once again the the child and cherished wifeIs thine to fold,In clasp more loving than this mortal lifeCan have or hold.But O, we breathe one knell,Brother and friend farewell!How yearn'd thy spirit for the better home,For the green palms;—For those who list the welcome summons,“come,”The blessed calms—But O, our spirits knell.Brother and friend farewell!.Sad sorrow still may hold a rainbow glow,The harpers sing:Let faith transcend the sorrows that we know,In blossoming.Despite the spirit’s knell.Brother and friend farewell!—E. 8.
