Memory + 

My home is now a thousand miles away; + 

Yet in my thoughts its every image fair + 

Rises as keen, as I still linger’d there, + 

And, turning me, could all I loved survey. + 

And so, upon Death’s unaverted day, + 

As I speed upwards, I shall on me bear, + 

And in no breathless whirl, the things that were, + 

And duties given, and ends I did obey. + 

And, when at length I reach the Throne of Power, + 

Ah! still unscared, I shall in fulness see + 

The vision of my past innumerous deeds, + 

My deep heart-courses, and their motive-seeds, + 

So to gaze on till the red dooming hour. + 

Lord, in that strait, the Judge! remember me! + 
