text_original: Youth, hope, and love, we gave her silent way, Calm as a sigh she swept us all; Then swiftly, as a word leans to a thought, We saw her lean to him, and fall Upon the happy body of the dead   An aged woman, poor and gray. Bright as the day, immortal as young Love, And glorious as life, he lay. Her shrunken hands caressed his rounded cheek, Her white locks on his golden hair Fell sadly.
