I'M young, and it is Early

I'M young, and it is early to leave the world behind,
But my eyes are waxing dim, and I feel I shall be blind;
Last summer I could count you laburnum's golden show'r,
But now I scarce can see there is a tree in flow'r.

I must put aside my wheel, my work unfinish'd lies,
Except the plaited straws which I plait without my eyes;
I sit and feel them passing through my fingers all in gloom,
Long, long before the twilight has darken'd in the room.

When I am blind, my mother, O do not me forsake;
I shall need a hand to guide me, a hand that I may take;
The world with me went gaily, but now I lag behind
The glad, the free, the busy--for I am going blind.

XLIV.

I thought of her alone on earth; of her
Alone, beyond the bounds of earth and time;
All other objects were forgot that stir
The spirit to a strife for scenes sublime.
Earth was a desert, death was her abode--
I thought not how the life beyond it glow'd;
Few flitting years were doom'd our hearts to sever--
But I have changed the parting to For Ever.
For fondly to the grave I turn'd, and there
Believed was meeting, and my soul's relief;
Or hoped, at least, to die to my despair,
And did the murmurer's act, the suicide of grief.
