Like those which young existence gave,
Ere clouds had checked the golden light
Which shone upon times pictured wave!
Peace hath its hour;-when Natures voice
Speaks to the sad and hayward heart;
She bids the wasted breast rejoice,
And its deep bitterness depart:
Far hills-the gladness of the sky
The green spray; where the summer-bird
Wakes its enhancing melody
O'er the rill's babbling cadence heard.
These spread, with untold eloquence,
Their glory to the observaDt eye,
Till shadowy care is banshed hence
Till the eye swims in ecstacy!-
And by this voice, whose viewless tone
Seems to the soul in mercy given,
The spirit learns to trust alone,
Its hopes and fears with God and Heaven.
