Will then, Duperrier, thy sorrow be eternal?
  And shall the sad discourse
Whispered within thy heart, by tenderness paternal,
  Only augment its force?
Thy daughter's mournful fate, into the tomb descending
  By death's frequented ways,
Has it become to thee a labyrinth never ending,
  Where thy lost reason strays?
I know the charms that made her youth a benediction:
  Nor should I be content,
As a censorious friend, to solace thine affliction
  By her disparagement.
But she was of the world, which fairest things exposes
  To fates the most forlorn;
A rose, she too hath lived as long as live the roses,
  The space of one brief morn.
* * * * *
Death has his rigorous laws, unparalleled, unfeeling;
  All prayers to him are vain;
Cruel, he stops his ears, and, deaf to our appealing,
  He leaves us to complain.
