To The South Wind

Written 1845
by Mary Baker Glover Eddy.

Sweet thoughts my heart still loves to own Deep tones that waken weal & woe Departed joys blest moments flown Sad in the South wind murmur low Oh stay and whither wouldst thou roam Gay restless essence bounding free Bliss to my bosom were the loan Of wings to wander back with thee. For whence thou comest I've As Written: Ive a gem Low buried 'neath the deepening dust Oh thither bear me breeze of balm Back to that bosom of my trust. Where oft the dewdrops nightly seek His lonely rest like mourning bride To shed soft tears that fane bespeak Where memory flows with love abide Where oft the silent moonbeams wend Where fresh the fig treeAs Written:figtree buddeth near And weeping willows lowly bend Above the bier of one so dear. Go bathe thy wings in odorAs Written:ordor, waft The hourly incense of my love Before the cup of grief I quaff Unite me to his soul above. Then balmy breeze with moonbeam glows Return & gently fan my cheek But no, thy sighing would disclose The hither from that grave I seek. Oh say do worms dare revel round That casket whence the germ was thrust Hath loveliness As Written: lovliness a level found Beneath the cold & common dust Ah not in joy the answer lies Thou hurriest past in grief or glee The while my soul in sackcloth sighs Oh beauteous dust to look on thee
