Then all grew calm as sleep; And they in household ways once more Did go: the anguish half was o'er, For they had learned to weep. They stood about her bed, And whispered low beneath their cloud; For she might hear them speaking loud-- She was so near, they said. Softly her pillow pressing, With reverent brows they mutely lay; They scarcely missed the risen clay In her pure soul's caressing. Last, from their eyes were driven Those heart-drops, lest--so spoke their fears-- Her robes all heavy with their tears Might clog her flight to Heaven!
