Vital park of heavenly flame

Just about this mortal frame

Trembling hoping [[?horrifering]] flying

On the seein' the bliss of drying

leasdle fennce native cease the etc

and let me lanquisle his life

 

When I read in got measure

some of beautl sublime

all new explain

which in nature they see

with much higher its than now

then, myself I count [[???]]

they the gold ∧of my [[?]] 
power by  for [[?]] breed 

Is a cumberer of the earth

they the sweet refreshing shower

Learning what a  parise 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 thought of still haunt me since

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

the [assing 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 bliss 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 Britain

bold side

 

Forward boys, the eyes of nations

watch there, be steadfast

ever doing things dirty lot,

the hearts in dear green Lensen

follow thee to death or glory

 

 

Life of my heart I leave here

Leave thee to cross the frame
