TO MY HEART.
Cease, little flutterer, cease thy motion,
All thy pains will soon be o'er!
Soon thou 'lt leave life's billowy ocean,
And regain a happier shore:
Where no storms will e'er assail thee,
Where thy achings all will cease;
Where no painful pangs can reach thee,
There, my heart, thou 'It rest in peace.

When released from sorrow's feeling,
When thy chords have ceased to beat,
May you find a happier dwelling,
Where fond hearts in union meet.
While this mortal frame enshrines thee,
Pain will ever be thy lot;
Then go, be blest, where smiles await thee,
And all thy errors find a blot.
