BANNER OF THE CROSS.


Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my path do roar,
Do ye not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more;
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where, free from toll and pain
The weary soul may rest
The loud wind dwindled to a whisper low,
And sighed for pity, as it answered NO
Tell me thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spo',
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he sighs,
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies
The loud waves, roaring in perpetual flow,
Stopped for a while, and sighed to answer, NO
And thou serenest moon,
That, with such holy face,
Does look upon the world
Asleepto nights embrace;
Tell me, in all thy round,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Might find happier lot
Behind cloud the moon withdrew in woe
And voice, sweet but sad, responded, "No."
Tell me, my sacred soul,
O, tell me- hope and faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow sin and death
Is there no happy spot
Where mortals may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And WEAKNESS a rest !
Faith, Hope, and Love, best boons to mortal'
given,
Wav'd their bright wings and whispered, eyes
in hcavenn
