Thren VII.

Thou angel child! thy mournful dress before me
Throws bitterer sorrow o'er me;
Thy little ornaments of joy & gladness
Kindle a deeper sadness –
No more arrayed in your gay glories, lustre –
And hope is fled for ever
A sleep – a hard – and iron sleep, hath doth bound thee
And morning ne'r shall find thee
Thy golden belt is dim – thy flower-wreathed tresses
Scattered – Thy summer dresses
Which thy poor mother wrought – she had arrayed thee
For joy love – and we have laid thee
In the tomb's bridal bed – &and now thy dower
Is a funeral flower
A little shroud – a grave. Sweet child! thy father
Fragments of such merit gather
and scatter ver sprinkle on thy brow – Death's dormitory Holds thee & all thy glory
