Weep Not for the Dead.

Go to her grave, but not to weep, Nor bathe in tears her early tomb: That precious seed will angels keep— Thence the immortal flower shall bloom.
Go to her grave, but not to mourn, That she was once so fair, and bright, A form far lovelier shall be born, From that low bed to bless thy sight.
Go to her grave, that light to hail, Which o'er it now from Calvary streams, Shining through death's once mournful vale, And on thy slumbering loved one beams.
Go to her grave, to offer there, As laid on thy Redeemer's shrine, That lovely flower, thy first-born fair, And say, She was not ours but thine.
