George Gordon Byron - Bright Be The Place Of Thy Soul!
Work rating: Medium

Bright be the place of thy soul!
   No lovelier spirit than thine
E`er burst from its mortal control
   In the orbs of the blessed to shine.

On earth thou wert all but divine,
   As thy soul shall immortally be;
And our sorrow may cease to repine,
   When we know that thy God is with thee.

Light be the turf of thy tomb!
   May its verdure like emeralds be: 
There should not be the shadow of gloom
   In aught that reminds us of thee.

Young flowers and an evergreen tree
   May spring from the spot of thy rest:
But nor cypress nor yew let us see; 
   For why should we mourn for the blest?
