| THUS when the silent grave becomes | |
| Pregnant with life as fruitful wombs; | |
| When the wide seas and spacious earth | |
| Resign us to our second birth; | |
| Our moulder’d frame rebuilt assumes | 5 |
| New beauty, and for ever blooms, | |
| And, crown’d with youth’s immortal pride, | |
| We angels rise, who mortals died. |
