The Better Land.

Thou better land! Oft in my hours Of sadness
My wearled spirit turns with hope to thee,
When comes deep grief, where l had looked fol
gladness,
And gloom, where joy alone l hoped to see.
fairest,
Have low been crushed by Disappointment

Truths stainless raiment then, alone, thou wearest,
And allmy hopes inthee, thou better land!
How Oft has fancy, on her stainless pinion,
Borne me TO scenes of bliss most purely fair;
AS often left me the deluded minion
OF Hopes as baseless as the summer air.
Left me to learn, in sorrow unavalllng,
That useless still is seeming friendships hand,-
Then comes true Hope, DER bitter griefprevailing,
And smiling points 10 thee, thou better land!
Could but teach my fond and trustfal spirit,
To turn from earth, with all its store of love-,
To that sole source, from which it shall inherit
A full return, that meier shall faithless prove;
Oh! then my heart, whose tendrils now are twi-
ming
Round forms of earth, so trained by friendships
Should lit itself from this too low reclining,
And clasp thy joys atonce, thou better landl
