XXXIII + 

Yes, call me by my pet name! let me hear + 

The name I used to run at, when a child, + 

From innocent play, and leave the cowslips plied, + 

To glance up in some face that proved me dear + 

With the look of its eyes. I miss the clear + 

Fond voices, which, being drawn and reconciled + 

Into the music of Heaven’s undefiled, + 

Call me no longer. Silence on the bier + 

While I call God⁠—call God!⁠—so let thy mouth + 

Be heir to those who are now exanimate; + 

Gather the north flowers to complete the south, + 

And catch the early love up in the late! + 

Yes, call me by that name⁠—and I, in truth, + 

With the same heart, will answer and not wait. + 
