Thou loveliest star in yonder SKY,
Where kindling orbs of glory burn,
Had an eagles wing to soar,
I'd TO thy azure pathway turn.
And there thro' skies OF cloudiess light
Where not shadow marr'd my way,
I'd track thy homeward progress on,
Myonly guide thy vestalsray.
love to watch thy lambert light,
When litis every starry sphere,
For then each loved one far away,
Can gaze ON thee as do here.
And could read the mystic lore
That's hid in yonder distant skies.
'Twould be to know if fate should gain
One hand to mine in sacred ties.
Oh! fonder have gazed on thee,
All rap't beneath thy magic rays,
Then ever mother turned to take
From sleeping babe, lingering gaze.
And as thou wheeled in light away
Through suns and worlds and glory on;
My spirits wings have spread their plumes,
TO soar to thy resplendent throne.
And thus when wearied of this earth,
And all its many wants and woes,
Say in thy cline of softer light,
There's spreads net secure repose.
Where those who lov'd and those who love,
Can wander without i'll or care,
One hand to stay, one hand to bless,
Nor find no time, nor distance there.
