Usage in poetry
Nearer and nearer draw the twain—
One with a wailing cry!
How could the Life let such a train
Of death and tears go by!
And canst thou think! Ah, think again!
Canst thou believe that he
The God of all yon starry train,
Would work thy misery?
Moods, passions, fancy's jealous fits
Attend upon her train:
She yieldeth rest without repose,
And heaven in hellish pain.
Now he hates the sunny plain;
Once he loved its dust and heat.
Now no more he leads the train
Of his peers on coursers fleet.
Eternal pleasures fill her train:
Pleasures that never decay.
Come drink of bliss unmixed with pain,
And haste celestial joy.
Our friends that lived godly here,
Shall there be found again;
The wife, the child, and father dear,
With others of our train.
