Dear Friend : â€" A monarch reigned with despotic sway Over a country vast and grand, His command was law to mifllonl Whether on sea or land, But the reaper came with sickle keen, And when the yital spark had fled, The news was flashed round the circâ€" ling earth ; The Emperor of Austria is dead. But when the coffin was borne to the vault, ‘Who is there‘? is the startling cry : ‘His most serene M»jesty the Emperor‘ ‘I know him not,‘ was thestern reply Again the coffin was borne to the y»alt And again the «hailenge came : ‘The Apostolic King of Aungary.‘ But the answer was still the same For the third time the challenge was heardâ€" ‘Who demands admission inside‘? ‘Our brother Francis Joseph‘ was the reply, Then the portals opened wide, Ab, wealth and titles are of no avail, When the angel of death is near : A loving {nith is che onll balnm The sinking beart o cheer.
