THE QUIET EYE.
The orb | like is not the one

The orbI like is not the one
That dazzIes with its lightning CLEAN,
That dares to look upon The sun
AS though it challenged brighter bean
That ORR may sparkle, flash and roll.
It's fires may blaze. its shat, may fly:
But not for me; prize the sou!
That s.umbeis in Il quiet eye.
There is something in its placid shade
That tells of calm unwordlv thought:
Hope may be crown'd or joy delay d
No dlmness steals, no ray is caught;
It's passive language seems TO say
81 tnov that must close and die;"
And death itself come when it may,
Can hardly change the quiet eve.
There's meaning IN its steady glance,
vi genie Oianie 0r p.aisiug rove,
That makes me trembe to advance
A word that meaning m CHI reprove.
The naughty threat, the fiery look,
My spirit proudly can DEFY,
But never yet could meet and brook
The upDraiding Of quiet eye.
There's firmness In its even light,
That augurs OF a breast sincere:
And oh! take watch how We excite
That firmness ill |, yield tear.
Some bosoms give an easy sigh,
Some drops of grief will freely start;
But that which sears the quiet eye
Hath It's deep fountain IN the heart.
