lyrics

Thank Heaven! the crisis-
The danger is past,
And the lingering illness
Is over at last-
Sadly, I know
I am shorn of my strength,
And no muscle I move
As I lie at full length-
But no matter! (I feel I'm better at length)

The moaning and groaning,
Are quieted now,
Have ceased, with the fever
That maddened my brain-
Bathing in many
A dream of the truth
And the beauty of Annie-
Drowned in a bath
Of the tresses. (of Annie)

And I rest so composedly,
Now, in my bed
That any beholder
Might fancy me dead-
the fever called living is conquedred at last
With that horrible throbbing
At heart

For the naphthaline river
Of Passion accurst:-
I have drunk of a water
That quenches all thirst:-
Of a water that flows,
With a lullaby sound,
From a spring but a very few
Feet under ground-

And I rest so composedly,
Now, in my bed
That any beholder
Might fancy me dead-
the fever called living is conquedred at last
With that horrible throbbing
At heart
