Vital spark of heavenly flame

Just about this mortal frame

Trembling hoping [[?horrifering]] flying

Oh the pain the bliss of dying

Cease force nature cease the strife

and let me lanquisle his life

 

When I read in got measure

some of beaut^l sublime

all new explain

which in nature they see ∧explain

with much higher its than now

Then, myself I cannot see  [[???]]

They the gold ∧of ∧my ∧power
 by for [[?]] tried 

Is a cumberer of the earth

They the sweet refreshing shower

Learning what a prise have we

with Thy gifts to us bestow

Then we mount to highest fence

Passing others on the road

But when he is thou art strange

Then our impaired march [[?]]

 aft when our success see [[?]]

Back again we're forced to go

Sweet thoughts of still haunt me since

that night ∧ we set home my met
we two were truants till

the passing time on flying every store

quick away, and left me with but

on regret; the close of day.

If life were free of moments such as

these it would be sweet bliss [[???????]]

they To speak to thee, caress thee love

the, press the band travel in one

 long &  fervent kiss from those

sweet lips of thine

Where are the brave lads who

left on shore

And fought neat the dear old Flag

Shoulder to shoulder by Britian

bold side

Forward boys, the eyes of nations

watch thee, be steadfast

ever doing thy duty lot,

the hearts in dear green [[?London]]

follow thee to death or glory

 

Life of my heart I leave [[here?]]

Leave thee to [[cross?]] the frame
