"Death saw strange beauty on that cherub brow, / And dashed it out.  There was a tint of rose / On cheek and lip.  He touched the veins with ice, / And the rose faded; forth from those sweet eyes / There spake a wishful tenderness, a doubt / Whether to grieve or sleep, which innocence / Alone can wear.  With ruthless haste He bound / The silken fringes of their curtaining lids / For ever; there had been a gentle voice, / With which the loved one claimed its mother's ear, / Charming her even to tears. The spoiler set / His seal of silence. / But there beamed a smile / So fixed and holy from that marble brow, / Death gazed, and left it there; he dared not steal / The signet ring of Heaven."
