Hope new born one pleasant morn br Died at even; br Hope dead lives nevermore. br No, not in heaven. br br If his shroud were but a cloud br To weep itself away; br Or were he buried underground br To sprout some day! br But dead and gone is dead and gone br Vainly wept upon. br br Nought we place above his face br To mark the spot, br But it shows a barren place br In our lot. br Hope has birth no more on earth br Morn or even; br Hope dead lives nevermore, br No, not in heaven.
