But when the sun in all his state,
Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through glory's morning gate,
And walked in Paradise.

Death

More quotes by James Aldrich

God gives us ministers of love,
Which we regard not, being near;
Death takes them from us, then we feel
That angels have been with us here!

Her suffering ended with the day,
Yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away
In statue-like repose.But when the sun in all his state
Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through Glory's morning-gate,
And walked in Paradise.
