Pearl

I saw her once and then no more

't was Edens Light on earth a while

She passed along the meadow floor

Spring seemed to smile

And then no more

Ah! What avail my magic lore?

She shone before mine eyes awhile

My peace is wrecked on Beauty's shore

I saw her once and then no more

Oh might I see, her once again

Death would soon heal this heart

Now sad and sore, would beat anew

A while and then no more
