48. O how distressing was the scene

O how distressing was the scene,
When soon I tho't to taOke my flight,
With but a flutt'ring breath between
My soul in everlasting night.

My wasting body rack'd with pain,
And ling'ring on the verge of death,
All helps to save my soul were vain,
Or yet to lengthen out my breath.
