EARTH,S HAPPINESS.
sDG Heilige! rufe dein Kind zuTSck!

Oh call me away! for these scenes would leave,
Which sparkle 90 brightly young hearts to deceive;
In searching for happiness no more Id roam.
Oh, Holy One! call me away 10 thy home!
This phantom I've loagd to my bosom to clasp,
But how has it ever eluded my grasp! .
To find it, I've search'd, 70 woo it for bride, d.
Each nook upon earth, each ar. have tried
In the city, and at the still country seat,
In hustle, and in the lone hermt's retreat,
I've sought it; and sought it in riches, and fame,
And where'er I've heard lsp'd sweetly its name.
In the misers cold attic, I've searchd for it there
And in haunts OF the spendthift Eve sought il with
care;
I've wnnder'd DER highland. and sought it in glen,
To palace and cottage extended my KEN s..
The warrior I've seen am'd with helmet and shield.
With bravery 60 forth to the fierce battle field;
Have heard him shout victory seen his proud crest,
But for happiness vainly I've sought in he breast.
Again have lstend to its syren CALL a
And sought it in dance, and banqueting hall; ,
And have sought it in music's soul-meng strain,
And in its pursuit have been first In the train.
I've sought it in Hastings Of beauty . bright eve.
I've loU'd and been Iou'd-yet ne'er have found
Oh, Holy One take me away from this earth,
For farther search here all its joys not worth;
Oh take thou my spirit to bright realms above,
Where happiness reigns in the bosom Of love. c.
