Excerpt from A Song of Friendship: An Elegy on the Death of Charles Scheffer
This Song of Friendship is Inscribed.
To thee, bright Captive of the sky,
To thee these lines belong;
Full oft I waft to thee a sigh,
And now ascends my song.
When first we met, there in our eyes
One path before us lay;
We trod its turf, till to the skies
Your feet were turned away.
You took that light which made us glad
That heart which we adore;
And yet the loss which made us sad,
Illumin'd Heaven more.
