Press
the sweet lips together,
They've
no words no more to say,
Press
the sweet eyes together,
They
look no love today.
Lay
the sweet hands together,
Swept
bonds that no longer enthrall,
Lay
the sweet feet together,
They
run no more at my call.
Put
the sweet curls together,
They'll
glisten no more in the sun;
Put
the sweet curls together,
And
leave to me only one.
Only
this, to kiss and to kiss
When
my heart is like to break,
Put
the sweet curls together,
To
pillow no more my cheek.
Oh,
God! with her earliest breath,
I
gave her to Thee that morn,
When
close by the gates of death,
My
own little darling was born!
And
now to the same dark gate
I
come with mere sorrow and pain;
And
her with my darling I wait
To give her to Thee again!
