Missing Words

Peace! what do tears avail?
She lies all dumb pale,
And from her eye
The spirit of lovely is fading,
And she must die!
Why looks the wroth? the friend upbraiding?
Reply, reply!

Hath she not too long
’Midst pain, and grief, and wrong?
Then, not die?
Why suffer again her doom of sorrow,
hopeless lie?
Why nurse the trembling dream until to-morrow?
Reply, reply!

Death! Take her to thine arms,
In all stainless charms,
And with her fly
To heavenly haunts, where, clad in brightness,
The Angels lie.
Wilt bear her there, O Death! in all her whiteness?
Reply, reply!
