Complete Works of James Whitcomb Riley— Volume 1
Contents:
Over the Eyes of Gladness
"The voice of One hath spoken, And the bended reed is bruised— The golden bowl is broken, And the silver cord is loosed."
Over the eyes of gladness The lids of sorrow fall, And the light of mirth is darkened Under the funeral pall.
The hearts that throbbed with rapture In dreams of the future years, Are wakened from their slumbers, And their visions drowned in tears.
. . . . . . . Two buds on the bough in the morning— Twin buds in the smiling sun, But the frost of death has fallen And blighted the bloom of one.
One leaf of life still folded Has fallen from the stem, Leaving the symbol teaching There still are two of them,—
For though—through Time’s gradations, The LIVING bud may burst,— The WITHERED one is gathered, And blooms in Heaven first.
