lis sweet to bask in the bright smile
That liehteth lovely lips,
Which beams unclouded all the while,
And knoweth no eclipse.
'Tis sweet to meet the thrilling glance
Ofa love-lighted eye
To feel young passions wild romance,
And catch its frst-born sigh.
lis sweet to stand beside the altar,
With fair hand in thine,
And hear ioy'd one family faltcr
The VOWS Of auld lang syne;
lis sweet to know that there's one heart
Forever all thine own,
In which thy image reigns apart
Unrivalled and alone.
Blu, sweeter far than this--than all
Besides the bliss of heaven,
Are the pure tears ofjoy that fall
For sin and guilt forgiven;
When bitter lnemorys scorpion stings
Have lost their maddenins smart,
And blest repentance gently filings
Its balm upon the heart.
