History and genealogy of Peter Montague, of Nansemond and ...

BRANCH OF HIS SON PETER. 349
" The dew-drop dies not, when it leaves the flower,
And passes upward on the beam of morn
It does but hide itself in light on high,
To its loved flower at twilight to return.
The fine gold has not perished, when the flame
Seizes upon it with consuming glow
In freshened splendor it comes forth anew,
To sparkle on the monarch's throne or brow.
Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust.
We bid each parting saint a brief farewell
Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust
To the safe keeping of the silent cell."
