Come to the bridal-chamber, ...

Come to the bridal-chamber, Death! Come to the mother\'s, when she feels, For the first time, her first-born\'s breath! Come when the blessed seals That close the pestilence are broke, And crowded cities wail its stroke!
Come to the bridal-chamber, Death! Come to the mother's, when she feels, For the first time, her first-born's breath! Come when the blessed seals That close the pestilence are broke, And crowded cities wail its stroke!
